Hot crimson pod
Red chile refers to mature chile peppers that have ripened to red, or the sauce and powder made from them.
In New Mexican cuisine especially, red chile is a defining flavor—served as a sauce over enchiladas, tamales, and eggs.
When asked red or green? at a New Mexico restaurant, you're choosing your chile sauce.
Red tends toward earthier, sweeter heat than green.
