Christmas - Red or Green? 4-Pack Seeds - Mild, Medium and Extra Hot.
In New Mexico (and Southwestern cuisine/culture), when someone asks "Red or green?", they are asking whether you want red chile or green chile on your food—such as on burritos, enchiladas, or tamales.
If you answer "Christmas," it means you want both red AND green chile mixed or served side-by-side on your dish!
Quick Breakdown:
Red: Made from fully ripened, dried chili peppers (usually smoother, earthier, and richer).
Green: Made from young, roasted green chili peppers (fresh, tangy, and often packs a bright heat).
Christmas: The best of both worlds so you don't have to choose!
Fun Fact: "Red or Green?" is officially designated as the Official State Question of New Mexico!
