What to Eat This Month: La Cocina
Inside Rio Rancho's El Paisano Market, La Cocina fills a hefty burrito with rice, beans, and a batterd chile relleno oozing Jack cheese. I’VE NEVER HAD SO many responses to an Instagram story as I did after recently sharing a chile relleno burrito from La Cocina, tucked inside El Paisano Market, in Rio Rancho. I sliced the hefty burrito in half to reveal rice, beans, and a battered chile relleno nucleus oozing molten Jack cheese across my plate. (Snaps of the mole tacos and menudo drew plenty of love too.) Beyond La Cocina, the mercado, owned by Adam Padilla—whose in-laws own El Paisano Supermarkets in Santa Fe and Española—packs in a full carnicería; fresh produce; house-made tortillas, tamales, and salsas; and its signature El Jerky Loco jerky products. Come for lunch, leave with tomorrow’s groceries—and perhaps a piñata you didn’t know you needed.

Peanut Bizcochitos with Apple–Green Chile Cinnamon Sugar
Witching Flour Bakey's Kelly Gee gives bizcochitos a fall twist with crunchy peanuts, peanut butter, and apple–green chile cinnamon sugar. There’s alchemy at work at Albuquerque’s Witching Flour Bakery, where Kelly Gee conjures unexpected flavor pairings in artfully crafted pastries—think nectarine-and-tomato panzanella Danishes or root-beer-float doughnuts. As the bakery celebrates three years in its Eubank Boulevard storefront this Halloween, Gee turned to a New Mexico classic for her fall menu. “I love bizcochitos,” she says of the anise-flavored cookie she reimagined with crunchy peanuts, peanut butter, and Apple–Green Chile Cinnamon Sugar. The result is a “nontraditional traditional” cookie that Gee hopes evokes “some autumn nostalgia” while honoring the beloved original.
