For a richer flavor, try browning the ground beef before adding the spices and water. If you don't have queso asadero, Monterey Jack or Oaxaca cheese make excellent substitutes. Spice level can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the amount of chili powder. Consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
