There’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh green chile in New Mexico. 🌶️❤️
Got an early start this morning , before the sun was even out and made the drive out to pick up a truck load of fresh chile.
Walking through the fields and smelling that chile in the air never gets old. I’ve been doing this for years, and days like today remind me why I love it so much. The tradition still lives on. 🙏💚
The trailer is loaded with bags and bags of fresh green chile, plus I picked up some red chile too! 🌶️ If you’ve been waiting for some, I’m bringing it home!
And I couldn’t pass up getting a picture next to Castañeda Street. 😂🌶️ It was meant to be!
Now it’s back to Arizona and time to get ready for a BIG CHILE weekend because…
🔥 WE’RE ONLY TWO DAYS AWAY FROM THE ARIZONA CHILE FESTIVAL! 🔥
Friday, September 4 | 5–9 PM and Saturday morning!
📍 Mountain Park Church
16461 S. 48th St., Phoenix
We’ll be roasting fresh chile, plus we’ll have food trucks, vendors, live entertainment, the Flying Tortilla Toss, Chile Eating Contest, a car meet, Kids Zone and plenty more.
A lot of work, miles and love go into bringing this tradition home, and I can’t wait to share it with all of you.
See you Friday, Arizona. Let’s roast some chile! 🌶️🔥
