Tamales with Green Chili Sauce

Today is Mexican Independence Day!  I am super excited to see all the #SundaySupper recipes today.   I am a huge fan of Mexican food, so I can’t wait to go through the 50+ recipes below.  This group is full of some amazing talent, so I know you will be blown away too.

I kind of cheated here.  I didn’t make the tamales.  They are on my list of things to try one day, but just haven’t gotten there yet.  We have a few really great stands at our farmers market that sell tamales, salsas, hot sauces, and more.  We sampled tamales at one stand, and immediately picked up some to bring home.  Word to the wise…when the Mexican woman tells you they are spicy, you might want to listen.

Also at the farmers market they have fresh roasted hatch green chilis!  I have never had a hatch chili pepper before moving to Colorado, but I have read a lot about them and see them in lots of recipes.  I decided to try them in a green chili sauce to serve over our tamales.  Again, when they say hot, they mean it!  You don’t have to use hatch chili’s for this.  I think jalapenos, poblanos, anaheims, and many more would work well too.

  11. I’m here in the Springs and am dying for some tamales. Where did you get yours?? The few farmer’s markets I’ve been to have just had produce.

    • I am in Fort Collins, and we have a few different farmer’s markets and they all have them. Apparently you need to come for a visit 🙂

      • I should! I haven’t gone to a market in a while though. I was hoping for more fruit choices but I guess that’s not common in Colorado? I’m originally from California.

        • We don’t have a ton of fruit – peaches, apples, melon, and berries mainly. I am from the midwest, so I am not used to huge, great farmers markets.

  26. This Sunday Supper was meant for me. So many good Mexican restaurants. I am dying to get my hands on Hatch chilies. Maybe this just don’t make it to the east coast? This sauce looks so super good. I can think of so many uses.

  35. It’s always fun to see people outside of New Mexico making recipes with NM green chile! Green chile sauce is my favorite. Great job! Now it’s time to give those tamales a try. 🙂
