Lying about the origins of one’s chile is considered blasphemy in New Mexico, where the spelling of choice sets the sauce apart from the more common rendering.
And now, a new bill is taking aim at those who fraudulently assert that their chili is grown in New Mexico.
“What we’ve got is people coming in and selling chile and saying it’s from New Mexico, and some of it is being shipped in from Mexico or elsewhere,” said State Representative Andy Nuñez, a former chile farmer from Hatch and sponsor of the New Mexico Chile Advertising Act. “We’re trying to keep the integrity of New Mexico chile, which we think is the best.”

New Mexico chile is certainly amazing! The hottest chile in America is called New Mexico Scorpion and the best salsa from this chile is made by El Pinto. Check out www.ScorpionSalsa.com! The Green Chile Sauce from El Pinto is also soooooooo GOOD!
