OPINION
BLACK, Judge.
Joaquin Buendia (Defendant) was convicted of two counts of unlawful dealing in federal coupons, contrary to NMSA 1978, Section 30-16-7 (Repl.Pamp.1994). Defendant argues the trial court erred in refusing Defendant’s requested instruction on entrapment and that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction. We hold the trial court erred in requiring Defendant to admit every element of the crime before allowing the entrapment defense but, because we find sufficient evidence to support the conviction, we remand for a new trial.
