After cooking green chile for years, Roberta Robinette and her husband, Matthew, took her family recipe on the road. Last April, they launched the Rocky Mountain Chili Bowl [2] food trailer.

Aside from the Pueblo-style chile, the Robinettes' menu includes items such as the breakfast bowl (mashed potatoes or hash browns with scrambled eggs, beans, and chile, topped with cheddar and jalapeños); the nacho bowl (tortilla chips, beans, chile, cheddar, and jalapeños); and the slopper bowl, which is basically a green chile hamburger.

But the fajita bowl gets my vote. The combo—Spanish rice and grilled fajita vegetables smothered with fiery chile, a choice of meat, cheddar, jalapeños, sour cream, and guacamole—warms the winter chill right out of me. The $5-$7 portions are reasonable (don't expect to split the one-size-fits-all bowl with a friend). Next up: the tamale bowl, stacked with beans, a green-chile tamale, cheddar, jalapeños, and extra chile.
