Classic New Mexico Dishes New Mexico cuisine is a blend of Native American, Spanish and Anglo tastes. While it shares traits with Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, it is distinctive. Chile (note the spelling) is the main ingredient that makes New Mexico food stand out, and New Mexico is the Chile Capitol of the world. New Mexico Pueblo tribes have been cultivating Chile, corn, beans and squash for millennia, and upon their arrival in 1540, the Spanish added it to their meals that included beef and cheese. Staples on New Mexico menus include beef and chicken enchiladas, tamales, carne adovada (red Chile-marinated pork), burritos, huevos rancheros and chiles rellenos (green chiles stuffed with cheese then deep fried). Locals often enjoy an over-easy egg placed on top of their enchiladas. Calabacitas is a side dish of corn, squash, Chile and beans. Spanish rice and refried beans are often served as sides as well. An Anglo influence is New Mexico’s beloved Hatch green-Chile cheeseburger
