Red or Green?
In New Mexico we are proud of our chile. Some like red. Others like green. And some people like "Christmas" where a little of both are served with your meal. And don't get me started on which one tastes hotter! ;-)
Once you get a taste for our chile, nothing else will ever do. Some say that New Mexico peppers get their special flavor from how they're grown: high altitude, long seasons of heat and sunlight, hot days and "chilly" nights (pun intended). Others have a preference for the precise locale where their chile is grown; farmers in Hatch or Chimayo New Mexico for example, each claim they have the best chile.
All I know is that New Mexico chile from anywhere in the state is simply the best there is. As the late great N'awlins chef Justin Wilson would drawl, "I ga-ron-tee!"
