A family kitchen under the Organ Mountains

Lupe and Marco Arriaga and their kids opened Piñon Moon in 2009, cooking the way they grew up eating in southern New Mexico.

The green chile is roasted out back every September, the red is made from whole pods, and the tortillas are pressed every morning.
