Over the winter Phillip kept telling me how he wanted to make Chile Colorado and I had never heard of the dish before. One night Phillip made the dish and I was absolutely blown away. How I ever dismissed this dish in the past, I have no clue. But, I am sure kicking myself for it now. Please don’t be a silly as me and make this dish ASAP!

However you make this dish, let me remind you, it does pack a punch. Our Chile Colorado is not for people who don’t enjoy spice. This dish has heat that lasts even after you finish. If you aren’t a spice person, leave out some of the chilies in adobo. It definitely helps. I recommend using only 3 chilies in adobos and adding another tablespoon of tomato paste to the sauce.

Chile Colorado can be made with either beef or pork and both are delicious. We chose to use beef in our dish. It tends to hold a bit more juice in the meat and doesn’t get as tough when cooked down. Plus, it pairs really well with the tortillas when you dip. Many people however try to stay away from red meat so pork is a great alternative. A pork shoulder holds up very well if you choose to stray away from beef.

The flavors in the sauce are very potent so a nice balance with a tortilla or rice calms the edge just enough without taking the flavor away. We typically have Chile Colorado with both a tortilla and rice. If we have leftovers (and that’s a big IF), we cut the beef down even more before heating it up and then use tortilla chips to scoop up the beef and sauce. If you want a little extra yum, add a bit of cheese on top before heating this up. It’s just like spicy nachos.

From our kitchen to yours, cheers!
