HUEVOS RANCHEROS WITH HATCH GREEN CHILE
Huevos Rancheros with Hatch Green Chile. It's a simple, but authentic recipe that I think you'll love. But it starts with the best chile you can find, and that's Hatch Green Chile. As a native New Mexican, I grew up on it. If it's not in season when you want to make this, check the freezer section at your grocery store. It's becoming more readily available everywhere. But, if you have access to fresh chile, start by roasting and peeling it. Then follow the recipe below.
