El Molcajete Mexican Whole Dried Guajillo Chiles 8 oz Bag ‐ for Mexican Recipes, Tamales, Salsa, Chili, Meats, Soups, Stews & BBQ
Brand: El Molcajete
Color: black
Smooth-skinned, deep-red guajillo (wah-HEE-yo) chiles average about 4” by 1” with relatively parallel sides, tapering to a rounded point. With their wonderful flavor and relatively mild heat, they’re a fantastic red chile to have on hand for making all manner of sauces, marinades, and salsas. Guajillos needn’t be limited to Mexican cooking either – their versatility works well across cultures and cuisines (they make great harissa!). Do note that the occasional Guajillo chile may be hotter than average – a feature that has earned them the nickname ‘travieso’ (Spanish for mischievous!), try using a mexican mortar and pestle for grinding!
