Guanjilla Peppers

Deep red, glossy, and richly aromatic, Guajillo peppers are a staple of Mexican cuisine. Mild to medium in heat, they offer a distinctive flavour—earthy and slightly fruity with notes of tangy cranberry, sweet tobacco, and warm spice.

These dried chillies are perfect for infusing stews, sauces, and marinades with complex depth. They’re a key ingredient in authentic mole, enchilada sauces, and adobo marinades. Simply toast lightly to release their oils, then soak in warm water to rehydrate before blending into your dish.

Serving suggestion: Blend rehydrated guajillos with garlic, vinegar, and cumin for a smoky taco sauce—or simmer into a rich tomato base for a warming chilli con carne.
