Someone Peeode says :
This is not a recipe. It's an observation at best. The ingredients are incomplete due to not knowing the name of them. "Green Chiles"?? Really? Do you have any idea how many green chiles there are?? Guess not. "Beef"? Wow, that narrows it down to about 40 cuts. Finally my favorite "Hot Chile"? That norrows it down to about 1,000 different kinds of chile... doesn't even mention the color of the chile ie; Red, Green. Written by a Gringo with no clue what these ingredients are. Next time save your breath abd don't waste our time with a recipe that will not work.
