Uses: Mild yet flavorful, Guajillo Chilies offer a rich, smoky, and tangy flavor profile with warm, complex undertones. At around 5,000 Scoville units, they bring just the right amount of heat without overpowering a dish.
Perfect for adding depth to Mexican cuisine, Guajillos shine in:
• Salsas and sauces for a smoky, tangy kick.
• Classic enchilada sauces for a rich, authentic flavor.
• Homemade guajillo paste for marinating meats.
• Braised or slow-cooked meat dishes for an earthy, warm depth.
• Blended into soups and stews for a smoky undertone.

To bring out their full flavor, toast the chilies lightly before blending or soaking. These versatile chilies are an essential ingredient for anyone looking to create authentic Mexican dishes with bold, deep flavor.
