Christmas-Style Stacked Enchiladas image

New Mexicans are so passionate about their hot sauces, their governor declared "Red or Green?" the official state question in 1999. The phrase refers to the diffcult choice diners have to make between spicy green and earthy red hot sauces, but locals know they don't really have to take sides: Order a dish "Christmas style," and it comes topped with both. See for yourself at restaurants across the state, or make your own Christmas sauces at home: The Albuquerque hot spot Sadie's shared this recipe.
