BEST HATCH CHILE ARTICLES

New Mexican cuisine is a blend of Spanish, Native American, and Mexican cooking, ingredients, and culinary techniques. While familiar items like beans, squash, and corn are often used, one of the most popular ingredients is Hatch Green Chile.  Cooking with Hatch Green and Red Chile is something every New Mexican is familiar with and the possibilities are endless!

Roasted Hatch Green Chile is commonly used to top cheeseburgers, stuff into burritos, mixed with meats and veggies into stew, or made into a real New Mexico favorite, relleno. Rellenos are whole Hatch Green Chile pods stuffed with cheese and meats, battered, fried and enjoyed by all!
