This is a wonderful spin on the Green Chile Recipes for Green Chile LOVERS, like me! Very rich and CHEESY and creamy, to be used as a dip or over enchiladas! My husband is from New Mexico and introduced me to this HOT lil number 10yrs ago, and I always loved heat, but Green Chili is unlike not other. One of our favorite restaurants here in San Antonio is Chuys! We have little ones so going out for a sit down dinner isn't always on the menu, so desperate times called for desperate measures!
