<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I apologize in advance for what I am about to post, in the dead of winter it sounds absolutely too good to be true: There is absolutely no substitute for tacos made with fresh ground beef, browned with a little garlic and onion then simmered in homemade salsa made with FRESH GREEN CHILES, roasted to perfection and chopped with fresh garden tomatoes, cilantro, onion, garlic and a pinch of oregano. Hatch green chiles (from Hatch, New Mexico of course) are the best but chiles can be grown in the home garden. A variety called "Big Jim" is our favorite, full of flavor yet mild on the "heat index". I hope it will grow here in the bread basket of America! Danelle Sorensen Kansas City, KS, USA (but formerly from Albuquerque, New Mexico) [log in to unmask]
