Best New Mexican Green Chili And Tuna Salad Recipes

GREEN CHILE NEW MEXICAN STYLE

Steps:

• Heat oil and add onion. Cook about 5 minutes and add garlic.
• Cook another minute and stir in flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes stirring so flour doesn't burn and also so that it cooks and you don't get a floury taste.
• Add chilies. Pour in stock and seasonings. Taste for salt and adjust if necessary.
• Bring to boil over medium heat and cook for about 15 to 30 minutes on a low simmer covered.
• If you want it thicker add more broth or water. This can cook for longer if you want your chile a softer texture.
