Los Roast Chicken Chile Verde with Beans

Late summer and fall brings chile roasting season to New Mexico.

Colorado and Texas roast chiles, too, but New Mexico’s Hatch Valley gets the most attention for its eponymous green chiles, and the air is perfumed with the distinct scent of the long peppers charring outdoors in a propane-fired cylindrical roaster.

We might not get the olfactory hit, but Portland’s own Los Roast provides the flavor with their jars of roasted Hatch chiles. If you’ve got some leftover roasted chicken, your weekly pot of beans, and a few vegetables, you can pretend you're in the Southwest.
