There’s a ubiquitous question asked in restaurants all over New Mexico. In fact, it’s literally the official state question: red or green?

What do these two contrasting, Christmas-y colors have to do with restaurants?

You see, here in New Mexico, we put red and green chile on everything. Go to any Mexican or New Mexican restaurant, and when you order you’ll invariably be asked: red or green?

Ah, but there’s a third option out there. Don’t want to choose between red or green? Get both! Just say, “Christmas.”

Whether you have access to the best chile in the world from the state of New Mexico or you simply miss it, celebrate this classic New Mexican crop with these chile-stamped dangle earrings in copper.
