Green Chile Vatido (Chopped Green Chile)
Share
Green chile in its most beautiful, basic form. Fresh, roasted, peeled, and chopped. Ready for your favorite dish, or honestly... just about anything.
In my family, Green Chile Vatido is never just a recipe. It is a staple for EVERY recipe. There is almost always a sealed dish of fresh green chile sitting in the refrigerator, ready to add to any meal . A spoonful on eggs in the morning. Added to leftovers for an instant upgrade. Piled onto burgers, potatoes, stews, or tacos. Or my personal favorite... wrapped in a warm tortilla with tomatoes, garlic, and a little salt.
This is New Mexico comfort food at its finest. No fancy ingredients. No complicated process. Just the smoky, earthy magic of roasted green chile, preserved and ready whenever your heart, or your plate, needs it.
Green chile truly feels like one of God’s greatest gifts, and this is the best ways to keep that gift close at hand.
