Green Chile is not a mexican thing, it is a texmex thing. Go to a ‘real’ mexican restaurant and you will not find any green sauce or any sopapillas like texmex fare. But people who have a taste for Hatch Valley green chile will turn over heaven and earth for a batch out of season. Have lived in NM from Socorro thru 4-corners since 1955 and the food rocks. Heaven is a stuffed Sopapilla smothered in green chile sauce. And I agree with others, throw a tortilla from the Albuquerque Tortilla bakery on a gas stove burner, har edges to taste and have at it.
I LOVE hatch peppers. Mmmmmm.
