Green chile stew is a traditional New Mexican fall favorite. Usually made with pork and hominy in addition to the chile, it is a great way to end a cool day. I used a rotisserie chicken instead of pork, and frozen corn instead of the hominy. Mine isn’t as hot as many New Mexicans make green chile stew; I like to be able to taste something afterward! Feel free to add more chile if you like it really hot.
