Notes

Tips for Authentic New Mexico Flavor

Use Authentic New Mexico Red Chile Sauce, with New Mexico Red Chile Pods. You'll find two recipes on my site to make homemade. Red Chile Sauce from Pods and Red Chile Sauce from New Mexico Red Chile Powder. Chimayo chile powder, a New Mexico specialty, is preferred.

For a short cut, you can buy Red Chile Sauce already prepared. Check out this one Hatch Valley Red Chile Sauce on Amazon. Another great source for chile powders and chile pods is The Hatch Chile Store.
If making homemade red chile sauce, make it a day or two in advance. This will make prep for this recipe easy!
