Did You Know!
New Mexico is the only U.S. state with an official state question: “Red or green?”
This unusual question refers to the choice between red and green chile sauce, two beloved staples of New Mexican cuisine.
Fun Fact: If you can’t decide, you can answer “Christmas!” That means you want both red and green chile on your food.
New Mexico officially adopted “Red or green?” as its state question in 1999.
Even more surprising, “Red and green or Christmas” became New Mexico’s official state answer in 2007!
