[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
When at a restaurant in New Mexico you'll be asked whether you would like red or green chile on your enchiladas. However, if you feel adventurous you might ask for "xmas" which is both red and green chiles.

New Mexican food is a type of regional cuisine originating in the U.S. state of New Mexico; it is a subset of Mexican-American cuisine. Although many New Mexican dishes are similar to Mexican and Tex-Mex offerings such as enchiladas and burritos, New Mexican food has a distinct style. The most important difference is the type of chile pepper used. New Mexico chiles comes in two varieties, referred to as either "green chiles" or "red chiles" depending on the stage of ripeness in which they were picked.

Green chile is perhaps the defining ingredient of New Mexican food compared to neighboring styles, though heavier use of cilantro and relaxed use of cumin are also important

What a strong photo! :-)
I'm going to close my account at TL, because I don't have time for so many sites. You can see my photos at TrekEarth (xuaxo).
Season's greetings, Francisco (xuaxo at TrekEarth).
