Everyone knows (or *should* know) that New Mexico is famous for its chile sauces...and that the official State Question really is "Do you want green or red?" Well, there is a third sauce, and we don't really advertise it much. It is called Terciopelo Jalapeño, or "Jalapeño Velvet." Pour some of this over your next plate of enchiladas (or whatever!)!
