Chile Hoe-Down - Pastel Painting

Chile is a big deal in New Mexico and I can understand why.  New Mexico chile is the best tasting of all hot peppers.  It comes in all temps from mild to extra, extra hot so everyone can find their favorite flavor and heat.  You can see the workers in the fields in the summer along the Rio Grande and other farming areas.  The taste varies with the part of the State as well.  Hatch chile, the most famous now, is a little bit sweet for my taste.  I prefer the chile from the north,  Chimayo, for example.  You can find companies on Google to ship you some to try out!
