Here are some New Mexico Recipes for you. If you are not from New Mexico you may not understand our obsession with Red and Green Chile. Yes, that is the way we spell Chile in New Mexico. Red and Green, and sometimes what we call Christmas (a mixture of both) is a lifestyle here in New Mexico. I would say that about 85-90 percent of New Mexicans eat Red or Green chile at every meal every day. If you would like to try this recipe then get it here. This is not TEXMEX. I will be adding more recipes as time goes on. Sometimes we make special dishes for the Christmas Season but a lot of them we serve at all times of the year.
Did you know that New Mexico has a State Question? When you enjoy a restaurant here in New Mexico you might be asked a question, and that question is “Red, Green, or Christmas?” If you like Red Chile, you say “Red”. Now if you like Green Chile, you say “Green”. And if you like a mixture of red and green combined, you say “Christmas”.
