I do not remember ever having the not meat version. I could see the mutton, but they are not raising as much mutton as they used to. More beef these days. I’m from Texas but visited relatives in NM as early as 6 or 7 y/o...
Just worked a project in Artesia about a year plus ago...
Yeah but I am talking 40 or so years ago....meat was often a luxury for those eating green chili stew as part of the staple diet.....corn some squash beans if you had em and lots of green chilies.....mighty good eating even without the meat....and fry bread to soak up any left over gravy
