Posole (also spelled Pozole), while served all year long, is traditionally served around Christmas in New Mexico due to it’s festive red and green colors. While you can make your own red chile sauce, I’ve found it’s more work than it’s worth. If you you’d like a recipe for a red chile sauce though, let me know in the comments and I’ll add it.

I consider my New Mexico Green Chile Stew to be comfort food as I will often make it when I get homesick for New Mexico. It’ll warm your stomach as well as your heart! You can also substitute beef or chicken if you like.

** For a Keto Friendly / Low Carb substitute, use Chayote Squash (2g net carbs!) instead. You’ll surprise people when you tell them it’s low carb as it’s really hard to tell the difference!
