Truth or Consequences is 2 hours from the airports in either El Paso TX or Albuquerque NM. During winter months, the advantage to flying into El Paso would be to avoid potential winter weather in Albuquerque.
If you want to break up the 2-hour drive, we have a couple of suggestions.

If you're coming from Albuquerque, stop in San Antonio NM (exit 139 from I-25) at Manny's Buckhorn Tavern (read the Trip Advisor reviews here) for killer onion rings (they're breaded with cracker crumbs) and the green chile cheeseburger that beat Bobby Flay's in a throwdown. (Closed Sunday; open Mon-Friday 11am-7:50pm, Saturday 11am-3:30pm.)
Coming from El Paso, stop at Sparky's Burgers located in the World's Chile Capitol, Hatch New Mexico (I-25 exit 41). Sparky's serves great coffee and espresso drinks and fine barbecue, and once you're in Hatch, they're easy to find - just look for the oversized memorabilia (think Mama Burger, the Statue of Liberty, and a giant pink pig). Sparky's is also on Trip Advisor, and was the subject of an El Paso Times' article in 2011. (Closed Tues & Wed; open 10:30am-7pm Mon, Thurs, Friday and 10:30am-7:30pm Saturday.)
(For local restaurant recommendations see our "Eating and Shopping" page.)
