New Mexico Chile Ground (Chile Nuevo Mexico Molido) is made from grinding whole dried New Mexico chiles. These mild chiles are essential in Tex-Mex and Southwestern recipes for chili con carne, red chile sauce and salsas. New Mexico Chile Powder is brick red in color with subtle heat and hints of sweet red bell pepper and dried cherries. This ground form makes it so convenient to add the chile’s distinctive flavor to everyday dishes, like ground beef tacos or burritos, beans, or a spice rub on ribs. .
