The Blue Mesa Grill at The Boardwalk at Granite Park in Plano is getting ready for their 27th Annual Hatch Chile Festival this August. Throughout the month guests can sample a variety of dishes featuring these distinctive New Mexican chiles.
The festival highlights the distinct taste of Hatch chiles that can only be found in peppers grown in Hatch, New Mexico. In celebration, Blue Mesa Grill will be featuring an array of mouthwatering Hatch Chile menu specials this August.
These specials will include Crispy Hatch Strips with ancho crema; the Hatch Rellenos filled with either cheese with a blue corn crust, smoked chicken or garlic-basil shrimp and the Smoked Chicken Stacked Enchiladas topped with an easy over egg. Guests with a sweet tooth will also not want to miss the Hatch Cajeta Swirl Brownie served with vanilla ice cream and fresh berries.
