New Mexican Food

I figured I would create a thread for New Mexican food. Please share your delicious New Mexican dishes and recipes here.

I'll start this off with a classic southern NM dish. Chile con carne.

You don't need many ingredients, but good roasted hatch green chile is a requirement. I used about 20 roasted big jims for this. De seed the chiles, remove the stems, then roughly chop them. Cube up your beef, rough chop an onion, and a couple of cloves of garlic. Throw all that goodness in a crock pot for about 5 hours on low, and serve once tender with some refried beans and a tortilla. I also like to serve a fried egg with it, but it's not necessary. Simple and delicious!

I see our return has brought the level of inappropriateness back to where it belongs.

I just picked some Numex Big Jims from my garden, so time to whip up some New Mexican food! I roasted and peeled these, then stuffed them wih cheese, and fried em up. I also made some refried beans, and spanish rice spiked with rocoto. My wife gave this dish a 10/10, which is great, considering she is such a food critic

Seriously! After reading back a few pages of shenanigans, you can see why this thread needed to cool off for a while

Thanks man! I actually did used to cook for a living, but I make much more money in my current career, plus I have a much more flexible schedule.

Chiles rellenos, pulled lamb shoulder pinto beans, and a quesadilla topped with roasted Hatch green chile.

I had some leftover pulled lamb shoulder left in my freezer, so I figured I'd make some beans in the slow cooker with it, to free up some freezer space for rocoto pods. Pinto beans honestly don't get much better than this, super tasty!

New Mexican breakfast!

A bunch of my NuMex Big Jim pods turned red, so I whipped up a tasty red chile sauce with them.

This is a plate of huevos rancheros, christmas style, with roasted Hatch green chile, beans with melted cheese, and a green chile chicken tamal.

 

[t0mato]

Wow man. You eat well.

 

[MikeUSMC]

Damn! I could CRUSH that plate right now, TGCM!
