User:Smile Lee/Green chile burger

A green chile burger is a hamburger variation, from New Mexico, topped with New Mexican green chile. Likewise a cheeseburger version exists, a green chile cheeseburger is a hamburger topped with green chile and cheese. Traditionally, diced green chile is placed on top of the patty. Though the burger can include other toppings and preparation methods, ranging from green chile mayonaise to tempura fried green chile.

The burger can also be made non-traditionally, using non-New Mexico peppers, though this causes the flavor the change radically. Therefore most restaurants prefer to use the New Mexican variety of the Anaheim pepper. The Anaheim peppers can be a suitable substitute for Hatch chile, as it is the most similar to its ancestor. Hatch chiles are available in canned form across the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico; it is usually available internationally for special order.
