Around Here, Red Chile Is the Gravy

How New Mexicans bring bold Hatch chile flavor to Thanksgiving dinner.

While turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce are staples on tables across America, here in the Land of Enchantment, we love finding ways to bring the bold flavor of Hatch chile into the celebration.

At Gilly Loco, we believe food is about more than just a meal. It's about gathering around the table, sharing stories, creating memories, and celebrating life with the people you love. That's why our family has always found ways to add a little New Mexico flavor to Thanksgiving.

Whether you're hosting a large family gathering or a cozy holiday dinner, here are a few easy ways to give your Thanksgiving feast a LOCO twist.

Give Your Mashed Potatoes a New Mexico Upgrade

Skip the traditional gravy—or serve both—and spoon a little Gilly Loco Hatch Red Chile Sauce or Hatch Green Chile Sauce over your mashed potatoes.

The rich chile flavor pairs perfectly with creamy potatoes and adds a delicious Southwest kick to every bite.

Spice Up Your Corn

One of the easiest holiday side dishes is also one of the tastiest.

Simply stir a few spoonfuls of Gilly Loco Hatch Green Chile Sauce into canned, frozen, or fresh sweet corn. The sweetness of the corn and the mild heat of the chile create the perfect combination.

Create a New Favorite Cranberry Sauce

This one may sound a little adventurous, but trust us.

Mix a few spoonfuls of Gilly Loco Traditional Salsa into your cranberry sauce for a sweet-and-savory combination that will have guests asking for the recipe.

Sometimes the best holiday dishes are the unexpected ones.

Upgrade Leftover Turkey Sandwiches

The day after Thanksgiving is almost as important as Thanksgiving itself.

When it's time for turkey sandwiches, swap the mayonnaise for Gilly Loco Salsa. The fresh tomatoes, peppers, onions, and Hatch chile flavor bring new life to holiday leftovers.

Start the Celebration with Chips & Salsa

Before the turkey comes out of the oven, keep guests happy with a bowl of Gilly Loco Seed Oil Free Tortilla Chips cooked in 100% coconut oil and your favorite Gilly Loco Salsa.

It's the perfect snack while family gathers, football plays in the background, and everyone waits for dinner.

Celebrate Thanksgiving the New Mexico Way

Thanksgiving is a time to slow down, gather together, and appreciate life's blessings. Adding a little Hatch chile flavor is just one more way to celebrate the traditions that make New Mexico special.

This holiday season, stock up on your favorite Gilly Loco Salsas, Hatch Green Chile Sauce, and Hatch Red Chile Sauce and bring a little extra flavor to your Thanksgiving table.

Simple ingredients. Bold flavors. Lasting memories.
