Counting the ballots…
New Mexico's ballot answers one question: red or green. Green takes the Green Chile Cheeseburger, Green Chile Stew, and Calabacitas. Red takes Red Chile Enchiladas, stacked rather than rolled with an egg on top, plus Carne Adovada, Red Chile Pork Tamales at Christmas, and Santa Fe Chile Pie eaten from a paper boat. Posole is the New Year's pot. Sopapillas arrive with honey, and Biscochitos, anise and lard, are the official state cookie. What New Mexico is famous for is roasted, and you will be asked to choose. So what is New Mexico's official state dish? The ballot is open until November 1.
