Ideal for dishes where one doesn’t want to overpower other flavors, the guajillo chile is a larger chile pepper often used in Mexican cuisine. The second most common chile in Mexico after the ancho, guajillo peppers are usually combined with pasilla chilies and ancho chilies to make mole.
We also offer pre-ground guajillo chile powder in bulk.
Storage: Store guajillo peppers in an air-tight container in a cool, dark cupboard.
Shelf Life: Guajillos will retain their flavor for at least a year, but likely much longer.
Dried guajillo peppers can be ground into chili powder or reconstituted in boiling water. Use to add mild heat to soups, salsas, sauces, and even desserts.
