green chile
New Mexico staple
Green chile refers to unripe chile peppers, especially the mild to medium-hot varieties cultivated in New Mexico and Colorado.
The term encompasses both the fresh peppers and dishes made from them: green chile stew, green chile cheeseburger.
In the American Southwest, "green chile" often means a specific roasted preparation that serves as a regional staple: red or green? is the standard question at New Mexican restaurants.
