I don’t know whether it’s my saucy new haircut or the fact that I’ve been a little homesick lately, but I’m in the mood for something spicy. And with the weather as hot and muggy as it is, that means something light and refreshing, too.
So, when I think about spicy, light, and refreshing, I immediately fantasize about New Mexico. I’m not partial to New Mexican cuisine because I’m from New Mexico but because it’s truly the best version of Mexican fusion (no bias, I swear). There’s always a subtle hint of a smoke in our flavor and during green chile season, it’s all about—you guessed it—chile. Chile can even be found in our ceviche recipes.
