The long-simmering battle between New Mexico and Colorado over which state grows the best chile is heating up. New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham went on the offensive Wednesday, July 10, 2019, after Colorado Gov. Jared Polis proclaimed on Twitter that hot peppers from Pueblo were the best and would be stocked in grocery stores in a four-state region.
