It's just called chile.
- ghaff 8y agoThere is often a red sauce option :-) But I wanted to get the Hatch chiles while I had an opportunity to as you don't really see them most other places.
- fusiongyro 8y agoThe difference between red and green chile is whether it has been dried, but nobody here calls it sauce (even though it almost always is). Hatch is a town that produces it, but they're technically Anaheim peppers. However, if you walk into any restaurant in New Mexico and say "I'd like the Hatch chili sauce on the side" you're going to get a raised eyebrow. The state question is "red or green?"
- repsilat 8y agoThe spelling of the pepper and the sauce both vary by region.
- fusiongyro 8y agoWe're talking specifically about the region in New Mexico in which I live.
