Hmmm...Poblanos...This is not New Mexican by any means. You HAVE got to try Hatch. Hatch is the ONLY way to have a REAL New Mexican green chile cheeseburger. Fresh roasted this time of year! Reminds me I need to pick some up...

I was excited to see a new use for green chile but as I read through, I realized that this is actually Bobby Flay's recipe. Thanks for sharing with the community but please be sure to give credit where credit is due.

Interesting that you use oregano. I would've assumed you used cilantro. I'll have to try this.
