New Mexico's state question is: Red or green? No, they are not asking your preference on red or green for Christmas, but to which style of chili you want. My family cannot get enough green chili enchiladas.

Directions for Green Chili Enchiladas

1
In a small amount of oil, cook garlic and onion until translucent over medium heat in a four quart pot. Add hamburger and cook until brown. Stir in salt, cream of chicken soup and green chili. Add enough two cans of water to the chili to make a gravy-like consistency. Allow to simmer over medium heat.
2
While the chili is heating, add cooking oil to a skillet and turn on medium heat. Prepare a 9X12 casserole by spraying a light coating of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3
Layer the casserole by frying six tortillas in the skillet for a few moments one at a time. You want the tortillas to be soft, not crunchy. Ladle green chili sauce over the tortillas. Sprinkle a small amount of cheese over the green chili sauce.
4
Continue alternating tortillas, chili and cheese until you have four layers. Top the casserole with a thick layer of grated cheese.
5
Cook uncovered in oven at 350 degrees until cheese is melted and bubbly. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. This recipe will serve six normal appetites or four when a starving New Mexican comes home ready for their green chili fix.
Tip
The green chili has always been my family's favorite. I get tickled at my children when they come back from their travels across the United States. The first thing any of them ask for is green chili enchiladas. Fortunately, they are extremely simple to make and I usually have the casserole in the oven just waiting for them to get home.
