Smokey, mild, aromatic. Our favorite dried chili...
The guajillo is one of the most common and popular chili peppers used in Mexican cuisine. It is mild to moderately hot, and has dark, reddish brown, leathery skin. It is the dried form of the mirasol pepper, second in popularity only to the ancho, offering sweet flavor and mild-medium heat.
The “chile guajillo”, along with ancho peppers and pasilla peppers, are sometimes said to comprise the “holy trinity” of Mexican chile peppers commonly used in traditional mole sauces. Scoville Heat Units: 2,500 – 5,000 SHU
