Nothing speaks of comfort food more than my mother's green chile stew. Growing up in the beautiful Land of Enchantment (New Mexico), we always had an ample supply of green chile in the freezer. I have fond memories of my mom buttering her tortilla and ripping the pieces into her bowl. It is April 4, 2020, it's been snowing nonstop for 2 days, school is closed, we are in the middle of a pandemic! I NEED COMFORT FOOD right now and this is it! I'm sure you will love this quick, cheap and easy recipe as much as we do.
