Here's half of New Mexico's State Question - "Red or Green?" Ladle it on or under huevos rancheros, enchiladas (rolled or stacked), burritos, chimichangas, or just about any other plate of New Mexico goodness. You can adjust the spicy heat level by the heat level of the green chiles or by adding some fire in the form of diced jalapeños or habaneros.

Add the garlic and stir until it is nice and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the flour and mix it in well, stirring constantly for at least 2 minutes to cook out the flour-y taste.
  • 2
    Add in the green chiles, water (or stock), and salt and simmer the sauce uncovered, stirring often for 20 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the sauce has thickened slightly.
