Bold Flavor Born in the Southwest
When you step into Twisters Burgers & Burritos, you’re not just ordering a meal—you’re tasting a New Mexico tradition. At the heart of that tradition is our signature green chile, a bold, flavorful ingredient beloved by locals and newcomers alike. Across Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, and beyond, green chile is more than food—it’s culture on a plate.
Our Signature Ingredient: Green Chile
We source our green chile locally to keep the taste authentic and the quality consistent. It’s fire-roasted and prepared in-house to capture every layer of flavor—from mild and earthy to bright and spicy. This special ingredient adds a flavorful punch that keeps our guests coming back. You’ll find it front and center on many of our most popular dishes.
Where You’ll Find It on the Menu
Green chile plays a starring role in several Twisters classics. Try it smothered over a burrito, tucked into a juicy Twisters burger, or folded into a hearty breakfast burrito. No matter how it’s served, green chile transforms every bite into a New Mexico original.
- Smothered Burritos – Warm tortillas filled with meat, beans, and cheese, drenched in green chile.
- Twisters Burgers – A local twist on a classic burger with bold green chile flavor.
- Breakfast Favorites – Like our loaded breakfast burrito, packed with eggs, potatoes, and—you guessed it—green chile.
Our Flavor-Preserving Process
