For fervent fans of New Mexico's famed Hatch chile, no other pepper will do. The fire-roasted capsicum’s measured heat, fruity flavor, and gentle twang are an essential ingredient in New Mexican cuisine and throughout the Southwest, from salsas to burgers to enchiladas.

But finding genuine Hatch chiles outside the Land of Enchantment can be a bit of a challenge. Which is why we asked chef, cookbook author, and Hatch chile connoisseur David Tanis for his favorite sources. Here’s where to start your own chile hunt.
