Why is Hatch chile called “hatch?” The answer is fairly simple: the Hatch chile is grown in the Hatch valley of New Mexico. (This is also why Hatch, New Mexico is known as the “Chile Capitol of the World.”) The soil around Hatch contributes to the flavor of the peppers grown in them, which makes sense. What also makes sense is adding that flavor to the filling of crunchy, yummy flautas, along with poblano, chile and cumin seasoning, and ground pork. The journey of the hatch from New Mexico to your plate is a delicious one.
