- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ต.ค. 2018
- For the past few years New Mexico hasn't been too happy with Colorado over the green chile pepper. In Pueblo, town officials have made the pepper a town identifier as more farmers in southern Colorado rely on the crop for their livelihood. But can Colorado lay claim to this green rush? Follow Jeremy Jojola along in the above video as he explores why New Mexicans take issue with Colorado taking ownership of green chile.

The tiny town of Hatch, New Mexico alone, would crush all of Colorado...lol.
Facts
watching this makes my heart rate increase...NM chile is the best!!!
"Hatch is the generic, Pueblo is the brand". LOL!!! I'm from Oregon, and Hatch green chile is everywhere. Last fall, chile roasters could be found in parking lots in Portland, with signs that read "authentic New Mexico Hatch green chile" and "our chile is not from Colorado". Say it enough Colorado, and it still won't be true.
@Issac BOO
@Issac I think you may be the one on drugs because the comment you are replying to is pro new mexico green chile lol
My friend lives close to Miami and she posted a picture of hatch chile jars at the local market lol
If it's not grown in the Hatch Valley, then it ain't a Hatch Chile. Darnit!
Colorado has the Rocky's
New Mexico has Chili's
Colorado has the dank. NM has the answer.
Colorado has tourists and pot
NM has crime and boring scenery
@@nightowlinsesh Keep the tourists, I don't like to wait 3 hours to get on the ski lift.
@@nightowlinsesh you suck, kyle. cry about it
@@nightowlinsesh Colorado salty yalls chiles arent as good when you cant j let new mexico have like one thing
There’s nothing to say about Colorado.....
New Mexico is The Chile Capital!!
New Mexico hands down!
Went to college in new Mexico and I've been all over the southwest, nobody is more serious about green Chile than new Mexico.
My mother's family has been in Pueblo for about 100 years. Southern New Mexico is the Real Deal.
Thank you!!!!
NEW MEXICO GREEN CHILE IS BETTER
thats like saying California green chile is better.........LOL
@@ravenstealth not really seeing as how NM chile seeds originally were used to grown chilies in California because NM were the originators, not Colorado.
They're both good.
new Mexico all day ESE
@@ravenstealth nope new Mexico ese
Alright, it was funny at first but come on guys, I have eaten your chile. It really is like comparing apples to oranges. Like one commenter said; they are meatier but they taste like they did not ripen right,......like the sweet buttery heat got dulled, yet it is crisp! I don't fancy the trade off personally as I was born in New Mexico and my first pacifier was a chile pod. The dry heat is what makes a New Mexico chile ripen right! If you wanna mess with the best, at least try your best before you talk shit. Just saying!
Thats what i say! Drought seasons produce the best chili.
You thinm Colorado isn't dry? The air gets drier as the altitude increases so you bet it's dry here too.
@@atypicalpinetree4212 yet the chile still sucks! lol! NM, CO and AZ are all dry but they are different types of dry weather from one another. The land of enchantment just has a magic that the chile pepper must have to create that buttery note in the flavor.
@@rachelrenee5604 ITs the DIRT. and CO dirt is FAR different from southern New Mexico,
There's no rivalry between New Mexico and Colorado. NONE.
JINger I got into an argument where someone from Colorado said there Chile was better
Youve obviously never had green chili cheese fries from new mexico
You never smoked Colorado pot and had Pueblo chile then
@@nightowlinsesh good cannabis is not unique to Colorado.
You never smoked California flower.
Pueblo chiles are like big jalapeños, too spicy for smothering.
You don't know the meaning of hunger till you go five years without eating a Hatch Chili. I lost my appetite for 2 and a half years all because I went without. When I got just the smell of it my stomach woke up and growled for joy.
New Mexico chilli is way better what war?
Not at all

Its funny cause they advertise OUR Hatch chili everywhere, so they like it, but they wanna yap. Good weed growers though, stick to that boys.
I’m Denver born and raised and I know better than to think Denver is even on the map for chili. New Mexicans are chili gods!! (Currently living in New Mexico) 😂

I am in the military and I see hatch chille in Germany, WA state, CA no one ever asked for Colorado chille because it's not as good.
I remember watching a TV show about green chile burgers and they showed a Hatch green chile burger at a Washington state restaurant
🙌 thank you very much.. NM ❤
Roberta, Hatch Chile is everywhere. Hatch chile is like McDonald's hamburgers. There's a McDonald's everywhere, but they're not the best hamburgers. Same with Hatch chile. It's everywhere but it sucks!
No one's better then NM for red and green chile just ask Bobby Flay
those are fighting word lol
Bring it lol 🌶
If you know about chile. NM is obviously the victor.
There is no war! New Mexico’s green chiles are the real deal, end of story. There is nothing that compares to green chiles grown in hatch nm.
This makes me so furious. Did she really call their Chile the “real deal”???
Well, I would to have you both on my plate. Love your hard work and passion and I am glad I can find a way to support that. I think having a staple of origin is key to supporting your product This way your product stands out, so I can purchase it, not to be biased. Love you both.
It’s not a war New Mexico is the best. Colorado is just using our name to try to put their chile on the map.
In 2000, the New Mexico Trucks were bringing in Chile from Hatch. Now all the Super Markets have come to know Hatch, yet there are many that don't know the difference from an Anaheim and Hatch. Mellisa got in the game charging 20.00 for a sandwich bag of salsa. But much lower priced peppers can be found and you can make your own salsa, if you know your way around the kitchen. Colorado seems to be something new to me. If they are growing a tasty chili they want to call the best, all the power to them. It is the soil & climate that makes the difference. I hear Pueblo is growing Poblano too. All the power to Colorado. I'll just keep eating chilies.
I was born and raised in NM, suburbs of Santa Fe to be exact. And yes green chili IS a religion to us NM natives. Like the video says green chili grows in a lot of places and it may 'look' like NM chili but when it comes down to it the flavor is what it's all about!!…… I'm living in Arizona now and every year I usually plan my trip back to see family around the harvest time and I'll usually buy three of the big burlap sacks of chili and have it roasted there I take it back home and freeze it and it keeps me in chili until the next year's harvest..... I've never had Colorado grown chili, but if it's anything like what California passes off as green chili then it is inferior.... That crap that comes out of California doesn't even come close!!….. Give me NM grown chili or nothing at all!! To be fair I know there are some good people in Colorado and they 'might' be able to grow some good chili, but I'd have to taste it before I'd say it's any good.....
BS as you've said you've never tried Pueblo. It's been in the family for generations, we've never cared to share it, we've never commercialized it. Hatch is like McDonalds, Pueblo is In n Out .. Better quality in all way. Until you've sampled it you have NO room to talk!
@@JoeMartinez_LA_LostSoul I agree
@@JoeMartinez_LA_LostSoul ive sampled the mild bell peppers you call green chile then ruin by trying to turn it into a green chile "sauce" with flour lol
@@JoeMartinez_LA_LostSoul I've had both, and tbh I prefer Pueblo. Not that I don't love NM chile. But your point is spot on. Not commercialized crap.
@@Tanner731 Look, there's no question Colorado chiles are hotter. None.
We should just let New Mexico have the green chili title, that’s about the only thing worth a damn down there.

I live in pueblo, hatch has the best chills in the world, I eat sirloin green chill everyday, pueblo dinomite chill is good ,but hatch is the world's best chills
There is no war New Mexico chili is the best
Never tried Colorado chili. I was born in Carlsbad N.M. and live in N.E. Az. Flavor is everything! I'll try the Colorado chili because I want to know. Unseating Hatch N.M. chili is a tall order because it's the king of green chili!. I'm competing in a green chili competition tomorrow at work. It's an annual event where we honor our veterans at the power plant where I work. Very stiff competition but my specialty is green chili/onion cornbread. My great Grandmothers cornbread recipe modified by me with green chili and onions. NO SUGAR...that's cake. This cornbread is dense with a crusty bottom and edges! Okie style all the way and made with buttermilk.
Pioneer woman has a PHENOMENAL recipe for cast iron skillet cornbread. I have made it many times as is or tweak it to add things i like, corn, bacon, cheese, peppers, etc.
Yoooo my mom was born and raised in Carlsbad🤙🏽
No contest. New Mexico Hatch chiles are waaaay better!
Wow. This was on my feed. Green Chile is fine.. But home grown jalapeno? So delicious! I like Hatch Chile and okay with Anaheim but I never heard of pueblo chile. I may try it but I never see it in NM. Next time I'm in Denver, they better have some Green Chile, normally, it's never on the menu.
Then you're not going to the right restaurants. If the restaurant is truly local, then they'll always have Green Chile on there
I've lived all my life (79 years) in Arizona. Have worked extensively in New Mexico. Always tried to be there in August for the chili harvest. Would buy least one 20 pound bag of them and take them home to Phoenix. Roasted, stemmed and peeled chilis are in my freezer all year long. Nothing beats that beautiful Hatch valley where the Rio Grande flows southward. The soil for growing can't be beat west of the Mississippi. Green chili fields for as far as you can see along Hwy 25. Then the fields change To Pecan orchards as you near Las Cruces all the way to El Paso. In August the little town of Hatch NM comes alive like Sturgis South Dakota during bike week. Note: If you travel Southward from Hatch to Las Cruses there is a great Mexican food restaurant in the little dusty historic town of Mesilla, just across the River from Las Cruces. "La Posta" is historical and has been there since the late 1800's when it was a stage stop. The original adobe walls surround the building. Mesilla was the territorial capital of both Arizona and New Mexico before they were divided into two separate states. A block down the street from La Posta is the site of the old court house where Billy the kid was sentenced to hang but escaped. Now a gift shop.
A war in which one side (Colorado) is unarmed is not a war after all.
They’re talking about one type of pepper in Colorado...go down to NMSU and visit the Chile Pepper Institute and you’ll see all the different types of peppers..you can find many edible ornamental peppers that stick upwards as well...but competition is healthy. The best Pueblo chile I’ve ever had was grown at the base of the Sandia Mountains in Albuquerque. Lol. So I don’t know Colorado, might be in over your heads in this one.
The Pueblo Chile that is popular today wasn’t developed until 1990. That’s why no one has heard of it. But it does have a better flavor than hatch.
Ooo I love sweet peppers, thanks Pueblo! lmao!
Colorado can never compete with New Mexico on the chili game🌶️
Go to Denver you can't find chili.
Come to New Mexico and is in every
store and restart every where....
War? New Mexico is the hands down winner. Colorado can't even compete.
New Mexico is the chili capital of the world and always be like that. 🇺🇸🌶️🇺🇸
To be honest, I have lots of both and I like both. I will eat both as much as its available. Both are so good. And I prefer it Christmas.
There’s a reason EVERY burger franchise in New Mexico adds green chili to its menu. Nowhere else
What rivalry? Hatch chilis have a special place in my heart!
I hate these "wars" honestly. Anaheim, Hatch, Pueblo... give them all to me. I will love them equally.
It even says it on our license plate chili capital of the world, stick to grown weed Colorado
New Mexico chile is obviously the best chile
New Mexico is tops
Begun the chili wars have!
It's not a war. NM wins
Well...we also have those thousands of nuclear weapons stored at the Kirtland Underground Munitions Storage Complex...just in case...
My whole families from Deming New Mexico just a half hour south of hatch. And I have to say hatch chili will always be my favorite. Especially the Extra extra hot
Y’all ever here anybody besides people from Colorado say, “ I bought some Colorado green Chili it’s the best “ hell nah people have hatch chili shipped from all over the world. Stay in your lane hitas... I’ll buy weed from you tho😂
Colorado, you keep your weed and we'll keep our chili's ok?
Colorado has green... not red. If you catch my drift...
You go online and look for Green chile options, almost all of them are Hatch. Pueblo chiles have not made the marketing scene.
the funny thing is no one talks about its history and how it became what it is. my family created this Chile "pueblo" aka Mosco and the history makes it more valuable then anything. you constantly hear the farmers take credit for the Chile my great uncle and cousin perfected and no one brings it up. its sad and ill make sure to change that! those farmers who get air time better remember where their family got seed from to do what they do now.
The difference is the soil. The New Mexico Rio Grande Valley soil is the Italian San Manzano soil. The effect is similar for green chile as for tomatoes. There is nothing Colorado can do to replicate New Mexico soil. Red or Green? New Mexico Christmas ♥️💚
0:52 when your taking a madd shyt
There was no war. New Mexico dry heat is perfect for Chile. Colorado been smokeing their green Chile to much to think they were ever in a comp with us. 😂😂😂😂
New Mexico dry heat ? LOL. Denver and the front range have the same dry heat. Pueblo might actually be hotter than Albuquerque though.
DJR5280 good Chile isn’t grown in Albuquerque smart guy. South Central New Mexico is where the best Chile. Anywhere else has crappy Chile. I’ve been there and tried em. Big difference.
@@RoccHoundBeatz You're right. It's not grown in Albuquerque. I assumed it was. Good Chile but nor the best.
NM has more crackheads
@@-SidneyPrescott crack is a thing a of the past. More like methheads and heroin addicts.
Hatch NM is the chile capital sooooo yall colorado chile is just mild come down to hatch and try ms.june and sombre
IDK about Colorado, but NM chile is king. It has a blend of flavors that make it uniquely Southwestern. It's not Mexican chile and that's ok. There's plenty of chiles to go around and taste!
it's because you've never stepped away and actually tasted perfection.
@@JoeMartinez_LA_LostSoul but have you tasted nm green chili
It isn't a war. NM is world renowned.
Lmao. There isn’t a competition between Colorado and NM. Lmao what 😂😂😂
Colorado should focus their effort on what they're go at.....................
Skiing. There's no way in hell Colorado out does New Mexico in the chili world!
This is not an argument or a rivalry, New Mexico has a history of green chile use going back hundreds of years. When I relocated to Denver in 1994 I had a hard time finding a restaurant that had even heard of green chile. This would be like another state starting to enjoy Cajun food for 10-15 years and then claiming they were the leader in that food. I think Louisiana would have something to say about that. You can’t rob a place of it’s history and culture just because you’ve decided you like it too.
Denver sucks, go literally anywhere else
Damn right!
oh thats bullshit, i've lived in Colorado all my life, and ALWAYS had a wide selection of locally grown chili .. but Pueblo's was always the best. Going to visit family in Albuquerque they made me some Hatch, i didn't care for it.. nor did they, they ALWAYS came back to Colorado for their bushels of chili, from Denver down to Pueblo, out to Rocky Ford then back home to Albuquerque
@@JoeMartinez_LA_LostSoul that's a long way for some gross chile
ok you. Colorado was the 38th state. New Mexico was the 47th state. Don't go throwing numbers out there
Mexico green chili is the best I’m from Colorado but my family is from Mexico so my Green Chili recipe I cook comes from Mexico 🇲🇽 b
Willing to share?
I've worked in Las Cruces 2008 and i know that Hatch Chile's Are the best Hands up.
Lol you know the seeds u grow in pueblo are the seeds that came from Mexico to new mexico to colorado lol so that guy saying your trying to take who,we are in colo sorry but your trying to take who we are in new mexico ... You can grow it but dont say its all yours ..
I can't wait to see in the stores in the Silicon Valley... I love it!
It’s all good. I’m cooking with Peruvian chile today. If you want me to use your chile, put it in the US Chef’Store in my neighborhood.
Pueblo Colorado is using hybrids.
I've been saying this for 40 years now.
"war" lol
I have BOTH Hatch chiles and Pueblo chiles in my freezer!
When it comes to chile, neutrality is the only correct answer.
The chile in Colorado is just as good, and definitely hotter than New Mexico. However, the food they make with it is awful compared to NM. New Mexicans should be proud of that. The popularity of NM chile is going to create havoc for NM residents. It's going to cause the prices to go up, and the quality to go down. All the best crop will go to wholesalers that will pay a premium, and that will all go to restaurants and retail stores around the country. Hatch chiles may be the most popular, but there's other varieties that are more sought after because many people believe they are superior to hatch. Chimayo, Estaceno, Khe-wa, Jemez, Escondida, all Northern varieties of Chile, grown in a higher altitude (more sun, cooler nights) than Hatch. So before Hatch fans go crazy on Colorado, they should reconcile why they don't even hold the title for best chile in New Mexico.
Good post, but I havent seen any reason to say Colorado chile is hotter. I lived in Colorado 10 years, and have to go there for work multiple times per week. CO chile is different. better than not having chile, but different enough to make a regular recipe taste a little off... and don't get me started on what the average Coloradan thinks is a good recipe for staple dishes, lol. Jemez and 6-4 Heritage chiles are some of my favorites, as well as Big Jim for Renellos, due to their size and meatiness. Hatch Chile's main value to New Mexico is branding, unremarkable otherwise. (unless you are eating some of Colorado's 700-acre chile, in which case it's the competition!)
@@tannji5971 it's a pretty 'heated' debate. But it's a silly one also, since they are so closely related people can't tell the difference in blind taste tests. And let's be honest: the real difference is person cooking.
What war our Chile is better
I wonder how Mexico feels about all this
The Answer is red with no garnish and a side of tortillas.
El chile de Nuevo México es el mejor.
How many acres in Texas grow chili?
Colorado has a type of chilli that no one can get no where else. Becauae there in high elevation so it can effect the chilli pepper. As i'm a Coloradian myself and I have tried y'all peppers it tastes like crap. NM will no longer become the chilli state. Chilli state for Colorado!
When are you gonna become the chili state still waiting you have one little town that loves Chile in colorado compared to new Mexico wheres its every town
WoLfGolden hell no!!!
@@evachavez8893 That's no where new what I was talking about. I was talking about how you couldn't get peppers that had that mile high taste to it. Plus that's mine opinion about NM chili and you can't change shit about that.
@@wolfgolden1789 you may have chili but we got chille
Your face looks like crap
If hatch chilie isn't grown in Hatch New Mexico is it still hatch chilie? If spirits are distilled in Kentucky but aged in Tennessee is it bourbon or whisky?
spencer allen nope
The answer is - only chile grown in and around Hatch, NM can be called Hatch chile. Chile grown anywhere else is green or red chile. Same thing with Chimayo red chile. If the pepper hasn't been grown near or in Chimayo - it can't be Chimayo red chile. And there is a huge difference in red chile. Once you eat Chimayo red, you can tell the difference from all other red chile.
Why is it that the Mexican restaurants that serve Green chili...are far superior to restaurants i in Albuquerque. Not even close.Talking about those in Denver.
Colorado has no chili claim New Mexico is the best
its not even close , New Mexico Chile is the Cadillac of Chile, I'm willing to say Colorado is 2nd and that aint bad, but there is only one #1 and thats good ole Nuevo Mexico
I don't think Colorado knows the customs and several ways of cooking it. Colorado is kinda new to it
new to it no. different then yours. yes, but much better
those goofs up north put flour rue into their green chile and cook it into a fuckin gravy you barely get any chile on your food of it just fuckin gravy sauce
Pueblo Chile is a much meatier and flavorful pepper. But everyone here is like "Hatch is best because everywhere has it" it's a supply issue as pointed out. 8000+ acres of new Mexico, vs 700 acres of Colorado. Consumers are switching over to pueblo Chile as the supply increases because it is a better pepper.
sure growing a chile in a more mild wetter climate will produce more. it also produces a mealy bland mild ass bell pepper of a green chile. you need a hot dry climate for chiles to really produce good flavor
New Mexico’s green chili is a verde 🤣 that ain’t no chili, who are they trying to fool 💀
A verde? Are you serious? It's spelled CHILE not CHILI.. Another indication that you have no clue what you are talking about.
@@mededmoon6265 wow I made a spelling error that can easily be fixed you really wasted your time to tell me that 😂💀
@@andrewvigil2448 Theyr'e two completely different things(chili and chile). When you've been well acquainted to actual chile you won't misspell it and misspelling is the number one indicator that someone has no idea what they're talking about, especially when they also say things like, "it's a verde that ain't no chili". Yep, your'e right, we don't grow chili in New Mexico, nor do we serve verde.
Do you even have the remotest clue that the word "verde" means "green" in Spanish? So, chile verde is simply - green chile. So, yes - New Mexico has both chile verde and chile rojo.
well since we get most our chili from Mexico...yeah..... PUEBLO GREEN CHILI IS THE BEST!!!! Just saying, but New Mexico your chili is outstanding!!!
It doesn’t compare 😂💀😂💀
Pueblo people are so cute... Maybe someday 😉
I'm from Pueblo and my wife is from Hatch. She's the cute one. Her chile sucks though compared to ours lmao
colorado you grow the weed well grow the chile
@Eva Chavez dank
how about we grow chile weed
crissan arimas straight up foo
This was made in new mexico 🤣🤣 bro we just make it better perfection comes with trial and error yes we did it right. 🤣🤣
Pueblo chile is okay, and it's important to eat your vegetables, but NM chile is the stuff I want. Pueblo chile just doesn't taste as good.
Pueblo chile is actually NuMex Mirasol peppers (a New Mexican variety), but grown outside of recommended conditions.
Pueblo Red..OMG
HATCH CHILI STILL AND ALWAYS WILL BE CHILI CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!
I agree, but at least spell it “chile.” Chili is that Texas nonsense.
Mario Castillo From Colorado - Hatch Chili is what I buy and use in my house. But I still like to grow my own too.
Pueblo Chile has no flavor
That’s a lie. You probably haven’t even tried it. Pueblo chiles have an earthier, more complex, and hotter flavor than hatch.
It is definitely not the chile capital of the world….mexico has them both faded hands down
That would be China. But they just grow the most; they don't revolve their entire culture around it like they do in NM.
CHILE NOT CHILI
ONLY ONE CHILE. IT'S CALLED HATCH NEW MEXICAN GREEN CHILE! Anything else is a joke!
Who knew Colorado grew chill lol
I love chilie
As a Mexican I roll my eyes everytime I see "New Mexico the Chile capital of the world" lol y'all grow one Chile
And I roll my eyes at people who think multiple types of chile aren't grown in New Mexico. You just have to know where they're grown and what time during the year they're picked.
I don’t think most people from New Mexico have actually tried Pueblo green chilies. I like both Hatch and Pueblo chilies. A friend of mine and I did a blind taste test and we both liked the Pueblo green chilies, it was a clear choice. My friend thought for sure he liked Hatch prior to the taste test. I do think the red chili I tend to get in NM is the best but it has to do with other ingredients and the way it’s made than the chilies themselves. Sure there is a thousand different recipes. There is some amazing Mexican food in NM, would probably be even better if the Pueblo chilies were used.
