During Hatch Chile season, it’s the fresh chiles that get everyone all excited. There’s nothing quite like the smell of chiles roasting on a warm summer day. But while green chile powder has probably been available in New Mexico and Colorado for ages, I got my hands on some for the first time, courtesy of Melissa’s Produce<\/a>. They sent the hot, they know me.<\/p>\n I first thought it might be destined for Hatch chile popcorn, but instead I made some Hatch chile tortilla chips and a yogurt dip to go with. Why bother frying your own chips when a bag is so cheap? Because you can sprinkle them with whatEVER you want! Kettle Chips does have a potato chip with green chile, but for me, it belongs on a corn chip.<\/p>\n You can get your hands on Melissa’s Hatch Chile powder<\/a>, both red<\/a> and green<\/a>, via their Web site. If you’re after more of a chile with citrus kick, grab a bottle of Tajin or Trader Joe’s chile lime seasoning.<\/p>\n The sprinkle for the chips and the spice mixture for the dip is virtually the same, the amounts vary a bit to ensure you get a nice hit of flavor once everything is mixed in to the yogurt. It’s the perfect snack for game day, or for when you’re too lazy to use the fresh chiles.<\/p>\n Melissa’s does have chile roasts happening in a few cities this weekend, even though it’s the Labor Day weekend. Check to see if they’re firing the roasters in your area<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t
