Disclosure: This is sponsored recipe for Hatch Chile Co through 15 Minute Suppers. Recipe & opinions are my own.

When we moved to Arizona, everyone raved about Hatch Green Chiles. I have always been concerned that they would be too spicy for me. I am an absolute wimp when it comes to spicy!

After making this, I can tell you they have the best flavor! They added the perfect amount of yum to this queso. (My mouth is watering just thinking about this.)

All you need when you make this queso is a fun group of friends to share it with!

I’m already dreaming of a chicken enchilada recipe using the Hatch Green Chiles!

The chiles arrived in an insulated container after being flash frozen. I tell you what – you feel pretty special when a case of frozen goodness shows up on your doorstep!

Here is a message from their website (because you know how I like people and their stories!):

At The Hatch Chile Store we have a tradition of excellence. Our family currently farms over 300 acres of prime farmland in the Hatch valley, and we’ve been in the produce business for more than 60 years, dating back three proud generations. Headquartered in Hatch, New Mexico, The Hatch Chile Store’s history and heritage ensure that when you buy our hatch green chiles, you’re getting the very best chile straight from a family farm.

Berridge Farms, (our family’s farm) has served the Santa Fe market for more than 15 years selling thousands of pounds of fresh hatch green chile each year at the intersection of Cerrillos & Baca in downtown Santa Fe every fall. Our family retails in Santa Fe from mid August to late September. Most weekends, you’ll find two or even three generations of Berridges helping to roast and sell our famous product.
