New Mexico Cooking

[Verse]

Out in the land where the red rocks sing

The chili’s hot it’s a fiery thing

Green or red pick your fate

Or mix them both together on your plate

[Prechorus]

It’s not Tex-Mex

No no it’s not the same

Not Colorado either with a borrowed name

[Chorus]

New Mexico flavor burning hot and bright

Hatch chili growing in the desert sunlight

Christmas on a plate feels just right just right

There’s nothing like it on a hot dry desert night

[Verse 2]

Stacked enchiladas with layers so full of cheese

Tamales you can smell through the streets

Sopa pias floating light as air

Honey drips down your shirt but you don't care

[Bridge]

Spicy heat and hot desert skies

Flavor so bold it stings your eyes

Every bite a story untold

A tale of sun and souls of gold

[Chorus]

New Mexico flavor burning hot and bright

Hatch chili growing in the desert sunlight

Christmas on a plate feels just right just right

There’s nothing like it on a hot dry desert night
