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!

Just read through this and it all sounds fantastic! Going to make the Carne Adovado first, just a quick question though. Is 12 ounces of dried New Mexico chilies correct? I looked at the
bag I had in the pantry and it is 3 ounces. So 4 bags of peppers per batch? Thanks so much!

Maybe if you plan on cooking about 5-8lbs of meat.

Glad to hear you are going to make some tasty carne adovada! I used 12 ounces of chiles for a whole pork shoulder. I think 3 ounces would be enough for a pork tenderloin or something a bit smaller.

Thanks for the response, I was going to do an 8 pound roast so I'll need to get more chilies. Can't wait for the weekend!

 

[m1hagen]

Can't thank you enough GCM.  I made the carne adovada this weekend and it was incredible!  Your recipes have inspired me to cook with peppers more oftern.

I feel like if THP ever had a 500 page cookbook, you would have 456 pages

Gotta love some stew and tamales!

Leftover tamales make a great/quick breakfast food. Just nuke one in the morning for a minute, open the package up, and eat it right out of the husk No utensils or plate required!

I've thought about assembling it.  Amazon has a pretty good print on demand option for those who want physical books and they'll do the Kindle edition for pretty cheap.  Picking out which recipes, how many recipes to do, chasing down members for exact ingredients and measurements and the time required to put it all together would be the main issue for me.  I just might have a couple months off soon though so who knows?

Southern NM style green chile salsa, served warm.

Roasted Hatch green chiles diced chunky, chicken stock base simmered with blended tomatillos & diced onions, and diced fresh tomatoes. Salt to taste. My wife was craving it, so I obliged. She crushed half a pot while I was at work today Sooo frigging simple, but tasty!

 

[sicman]

That's a very nice homemade salsa.

A hearty New Mexican breakfast

Huevos rancheros style refrieds smothered in melted asadero cheese, green chile chicken enchiladas, and spanish rice with beans.

For some reason, green chiles and jalas are the only peppers that really interest me for breakfast foods.

Hatch red chile sauce is amazing with breakfast as well.
