Amen to that. You can't get real chile anywhere else.

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.
