The Guajillo Chile Pepper is the second most common chile in Mexico after the Ancho. The flavor of the Guajillo is distinct, slightly fruity with a strong piney, berry under taste. Guajillo flavors dishes easily, a little goes a long way. A staple of Latin and Tex-Mex cuisine, guajillo is equally at home in curries and masalas, soups and stews from around the globe.

This chile measures 3 to 5 inches in length and is about 1 inch wide. Guajillo, combined with the Pasilla and Ancho, form the "holy trinity" of chiles used to prepare the traditional mole sauces.
