Perhaps the most essential ingredient for any New Mexico recipe is the famous chile, or chili pepper that grows in 2,000 different varieties.  The Capsicum species, encompassing a wide range of colors, sizes,  shapes and spiciness, are roasted, stewed, fried, cooked or simply added fresh off the plant.
