Fair warning: these air fryer biscuits with New Mexico green chile and extra sharp cheddar are going to cause mealtime fights in your family. Fluffy, easy, one-bowl biscuits have been known to incite food hoarding and loud declarations of “dibs”.

The amazing flavor from New Mexico green chile peppers in these biscuits creates a southwestern taste that pairs perfectly with Pacific Northwest staples of homemade apple butter or blackberry freezer jam.

How to Pick Green Chile

Choose chile that is mature, heavy for its size, smooth, symmetrical, bright green in color, fresh and crisp. In many stores, New Mexico green chile may be labeled as hatch chile. 

Pro Tips/Recipe Notes

• Want to use roasted chile instead of raw in these air fryer biscuits? Place washed and dried chile in a hot oven set to 450 degrees F for 6-8 minutes until the skin blisters and can be pulled away from the flesh.
• Always wear gloves and avoid touching your eyes or face when working with green chile. 
• These biscuits can be stored at room temperature in an air-tight container for up to two days. The biscuits will become a bit crumbly when not served fresh.
• It is recommended you use aluminum-free baking powder in this recipe. Using generic baking powder may result in a “tinny” taste.
• Cubed cheddar holds up better than shredded when baked.

Other Tasty Ways to Use New Mexico Green Chile

They work great in dishes like Instant Pot Tortilla Soup With Rice, Make-Ahead Scrambled Eggs, Paleo Salmon Cakes, Asian Pork Meatballs, and Jalapeno Popper Wontons.
