New Mexico Chili Powder

Also known as "Anaheim", these chilies start out bright green, and when harvested they turn an intense red as they ripen. They are then are hung to dry before being ground into a fine, flavorful chili powder that has a distinct, sweet, earthy taste used to make salsas, sauces, and chutneys. It is commonly used in most Mexican dishes, such as enchiladas, guacamole and tamales.
