In New Mexico, apples are often paired with green chiles to create a tart and hot combination. This salsa perks up tacos or grilled pork.

Robb, Robb, Robb...truly you are not from, nor have ever had the privilege by surrounding yourself with the beauty and tastes of New Mexico. Please explore the flavor of Hatch chili. You will then appreciate and become one of we lucky few on earth who knows what "food for the God's" is.

I used fresh green jalapeños in place of the anaheim chiles. It was awesome!!!. Planning to make it again for the holidays.

Really pleasant contrast between the tart, crunchy apple and the mild spice and tenderness of the roasted chiles. Great fresh lime flavor too. Paired this with pork tacos, which added a wonderful savory element and made the salsa even better (close to a "4")!
