When it comes to chiles, \u201cRed or Green?\u201d doesn\u2019t have to black and white. There\u2019s really no bad answer. With Hatch Chile season just getting underway, green will be your first thought. Roasters are being fired up across the country and it\u2019s time to order up a case of fresh green chiles to squirrel away for the winter.<\/p>\n

\"grilled<\/p>\n

But if that supply runs out, it\u2019s red hatch chiles \u2013 either ground or dried whole chiles \u2013 that are going to get you through until next season. To prove it, I\u2019ve got a grilled chicken burger with Melissa\u2019s Produce\u00a0Hatch Chile powder<\/a> and Tangerine Hatch Chile Not Ketchup<\/a> that\u2019ll take you through the summer and get\u00a0you your Hatch fix year-round. (Thanks, Melissa’s Produce for the samples!)<\/p>\n

The question is, when there\u2019s so much flavor going on in the patty, what do you top these burgers with? Go basic with just lettuce and tomato, or take advantage of what summer gave you with sweet or savory salsas. Throw together a corn salsa or a simple mix of cantaloupe, mint, and lime juice. Is it messy? Heck, yes. Is it delicious? Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n

Melissa’s Produce\u00a0is\u00a0doing chile roasting events across the country starting this weekend. \u00a0Check out the full\u00a0list of roasting events<\/a>\u00a0for stores and dates in your area. \u00a0For more\u00a0Hatch\u00a0Chile deliciousness, visit Hatch Chile Time!!<\/a><\/p>\n
