Had some food in New Mexico

Care to share where in New Mexico? I might be going to NM for the first time this spring.

Here is my New Mexico red sauce recipe thread. I make my pepper mix by grinding New Mexico red peppers in a coffee grinder. But I have seen the mix showing up at whole foods in pre ground packages.

Here is my green sauce recipe

New Mexico Green Sauce

1 tablespoon shortening or oil
1 cup chicken broth or veggie broth
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons flour
3/4 teaspoon salt to taste
1/4 to 1 cup chopped green chile (preferably roasted Hatch. Roasted Anaheims will work but you may want to add a jalapeno or 2 for the heat as anaheims are what I would call mild in heat).

1. Heat shortening in a medium-sized skillet on medium heat.
2. Sauté the chopped onion in shortening. Add flour and cook for 1 minute.
3.Add all remaining ingredients and simmer for 20 minutes.

If the sauce is too spicy you can add a teaspoon of canned tomato sauce and re taste. Keep adding tomato sauce in small increments until you get the heat down to where you like. I add about 2 tsp of tomato sauce always as I like the added acid hit.

Then you can follow my New Mexico Red Sauce recipe for making the stacked enchiladas. See link above.

Where in New Mexico are you planning to visit. I live in New Mexico. What would you like to know, maybe I can provide some pointers.

If you're going to Santa Fe, I'll post up my Santa Fe dining and drinking recommendation copy pasta.

In Taos, Eskes Brew Pub has a great burrito w/ green chile stew over the top of it. Get an 10,000 foot stout too. They have a Green Chile beer but I'm not a fan of spicy beers.
