Hello my friends,
I’m having some family visiting me for the weekend, I’m thinking and showing them the best of Colorado since it’s their first time here.
So, to welcome them I will be serving the most famous Colorado’s dish “The Green Chili”
I will be sharing the recipe with you and also some pictures so you can have an idea of what I’m talking about.
Making it will take you 2 hrs which will be worth the 5 minutes that it will last in front of you.
For this recipe you will need:
