New Mexico Chiles (Chile Nuevo Mexico) were developed by New Mexico State University from a chile native to Central Mexico. This mild, dried chile is a natural for Tex-Mex and Southwestern recipes, especially in chili con carne, red chile sauce and salsas. A dark red dried chile that is long and narrow with a smooth, shiny skin, New Mexico chiles have subtle heat. Their flavor offers hints of sweet red bell pepper and dried cherries that enhances everything from red enchilada sauce to spicy hot chocolate.
