I'm on digest, and responding to the post below. What is a green
chile cheeseburger? Mouth is watering. A restaurant in our area used
to serve hamburgers with a big slab of peeled chile (Poblano, I
think) on the burger. Is that it? Or perhaps chopped chile mixed
with the hamburger before cooking? Peeled chopped chile -- if not
peeled, the skin turns to razor blades in a broiler as one wanna-be
restaurant served. Big Jims are my favorites for rellenos, and we
make batter from eggs or faux eggs and brown rice flour. Great
flavor. Does anyone use a sauce over the rellenos?
BTW, an excellent taco, but very different in flavor from what you're
used to can be assembled out of cottage cheese, chopped celery,
chopped onion and hot sauce (grated cheese as desired). Margaret L

I also agree about the significant differences in food in southern
NM.... it's more "Mexican" than "New Mexican" which is no big
surprise. I too have been to Horseman's Haven and Roberto's and many
others .... Las Cruces has got to have the best per-capita eating
anywhere, for a chile-head at least. La Hacienda Restaurant used to
have a wicked Habanero salsa but I don't think they serve it any
longer.
One thing found state-wide, as you all probably know, is the green
chile cheeseburger!
