One can usually tell when it's chile season in New Mexico.
Supermarkets in town (in this case Gallup) have roasters outside roasting chile peppers over a propane fire.

I saw one the other day at the Gallup Safeway market and two today. One was at Lowe's Shop 'n Save and one was at Albertsons.
Most of the chile peppers grown in New Mexico come from the Hatch Valley.
They don't call New Mexico the "Chile Capital of the World" for no reason.
