Notes

Hatch Chiles are only in season for about a month during the summer, but can be roasted, peeled/seeded and frozen for months with no problem. If you don't have fresh ones, I have found an EXCELLENT substitute in the frozen foods section of my grocery store (HEB). Here is the manufacturer's site where they list their retailers: http://www.buenofoods.com/br_retail_products.html
