Growing up in New Mexico I was used to have either Red or Green Chile for almost every meal. Green Chile was the greatest and it made almost everything taste a whole lot better. I loved red Chile as well green chile but the green stuff just had a better taste and enhanced almost any dish. However red Chile was more available since it was dried and made into a powder that you could use for years to come. Green Chile taste great with potatoes, with beans, on sandwiches, with tortillas, mixed with rice, on top of noodles and pretty much anything.

During the Month of August and September you can find Green Chile on the menu at Pizza Hut, McDonald's, Wendy's and other local chains. My favorite was a double green Chile cheeseburger from McDonald's. I am not a big Micky D fan except for that Green Chile cheese burger "Its the Greatest".

The Great thing about green Chile you can eat all you want and not get fat. Green Chile is fat free, low on calories, almost no cholesterol and has lots of fiber. Green Chile helps build up your immune defense system because it has lots of Vitamin C, even 6 times more than an orange. When Chile turns red it's loaded with vitamin A. Chile doesn't just taste great it's great for you. Even the ancient people such as the Mayans used it on a regular basis as a medicine. I rarely get sick and now I know why, eating green Chile has always made me feel good.
