People apparently dip their pizzas in ranch here in Texas too. I had never seen or heard of it before until I moved here, and then I saw several people eating pizza that way all at once. It was a pretty weird experience.
Where I'm from, it's pretty common to put green chile on/in a lot of savory dishes, from cheeseburgers to soup, but I don't know if other people would consider that particularly weird. A traditional dish my grandmother would always cook for us was called
pozole, which was made with red chile, chicken, pork, and hominy. Hominy is corn that has been soaked in lye and later rinsed off. It's pretty good!
It's not super common here, but another well-known dish is chicken with
mole poblamo sauce, which is made with chili peppers and chocolate. It's not bad, and it doesn't taste sweet.
