If there is anything I’m sure about, it’s that New Mexicans love their Green Chile Cheeseburgers! The green chile cheeseburger originated in NM and you can find one in just about every town across New Mexico. And every New Mexican has their own personal favorite. Joe and I are no different, we’ve embraced the challenge to find the best green chile cheeseburgers as we’ve traveled around the state. We have different opinions on the best burgers, however we both agree it’s hard to find a green chile cheeseburger that isn’t good. We’ve found differences on how the burgers are prepared, they might be smash burgers, flame broiled or seared on a griddle. They may offer a choice of cheese, while others offer different condiments. Any or all of these can alter an opinion on how they appear and taste. One of the main things that Joe and I look for in a great burger is the heat and flavor off the green chile. If the chile is too mild, it won’t elevate the burger, so what’s the point! The experience of eating a burger is also a component of our list. I love a good burger that I can eat without it falling apart and I hate eating in public when a burger is so juicy it runs down your arm. The most enjoyable burgers are paired with great fries. There are a few on this list that are outstanding. If you’ve ever had a NM Green Chile Cheeseburger, I would love to know what is your favorite burger and where you found it.
