Texas Roadhouse Fire Roasted Green Chile
This green chile is high in histamine, driven mainly by the buttermilk in the sauce.
Most of this is cooked to order, which is the best case for histamine. Even so, a restaurant kitchen preps ahead and holds things warm through a service, so freshness varies more than it would at home. The rating above comes from the chain's published ingredients. If a dish is borderline for you, asking how it is prepared tells you more than the menu does.
This is a fire-roasted green chile blend with butter, buttermilk, oil, and a chili-paprika spice mix.
-
Buttermilk leads it — buttermilk is cultured dairy, and that culturing builds histamine, which is what pushes this dish to high.
-
Chiles, oil, and spices add more — the green chile, soybean oil, chili powder, and paprika all sit at moderate, so several supporting ingredients keep it elevated alongside the buttermilk.
A plainer roasted chile without the cultured dairy sauce would be a lower-histamine choice.
