This event is going to be awesome. With the demand looking huge I recommend getting there early.
 
WHERE CAN I FIND GREEN CHILE? im from new mexico and put chile on everything and have yet to find any here. suggestions?
 
We found Jalapenos at the Carrefour on Sante Fe between Riobamba and Ayuacucho.

You can also try the Supermarkets in Barrio Chino in Belgrano. They have everything you would need.
 
Pretty much any verduleria should have them. Especially ones run by people from Bolivia or Peru. There are plenty of super hot ones in the verdulerias in San Telmo.

If you are looking for New Mexico green chili as described below...you will probably not find them in Buenos Aires.

"The flavor of green chili is influenced most by the kind of green chiles you decide to use. There are about 200 varieties of chiles, only three or four of which are commonly used in green chili.

Traditional New Mexican green chiles are a special variety that were originally bred in New Mexico from Anaheims, and which (last I knew) aren't grown outside that state. The growing climate and the varietal breeding has created chiles that are both hotter and more flavorful. Of these, my personal favorites are "Big Jim" New Mexican chiles ... plenty of fire but also lots of flavor. Anaheims have some flavor but very little fire,"
