Chiles guajillos (gwah-hee-ohs) are the dried form of mirasol chiles and one of the most common peppers in Mexico behind anchos. The mirasol chile group is actually made up of a few different varieties, including cascabel and puya. Use the fresh peppers in salads, or mix them with stir-fries and veggie dishes. Add them to a chili bowl to cut down on the spiciness of other hot peppers. How Do You Dry Chilis Guajillo?Guajillo chili turns red as it ripens. The long and thin pods of the mirasol pepper have shiny and wrinkly skin with thin flesh. Chili Guajillo Size Capsaicin is what makes some peppers spicy, but it also contains anti-inflammatory, metabolism-boosting, and pain-relieving properties. One always asks for two things out of any pepper: to give the food flavor and make it more palatable. Guajillo chili ( Capsicum annuum) delivers on both fronts. Morisqueta: A traditional dish from Michoacán consisting of white rice, served with beans and a spicy tomato sauce. Taste-wise, they’re much sweeter than you’d expect from a Mexican pepper. Rather than spicy, their flavor profile is actually very fruity (think plums, prunes, and peaches), tart, tangy, and slightly smokey.

As the second-most popular chili in Mexican cuisine, guajillo chilis deserve a place not just on your table but also in the garden.Ancho chiles are fairly easy to find because they are so popular. They are also difficult to replace in a recipe because their flavor is such a unique combination of smoky, spicy and sweet. However, if necessary, you can substitute mulato or guajillo peppers for ancho chili peppers. The pasilla is part of the Mexican Holy Trinity of dried chilies commonly used in Mexican mole sauces (commonly the ancho, pasilla, and guajillo chilies.) The pasilla is the middle-child (when it comes to heat) among these three. Anchos (dried poblanos) are the mildest of the bunch (1,000 to 1,500 SHU) while guajillos (dried mirasol chilies) sit right above pasilla (2,500 to 5,000 SHU). No, they’re not. Although they’re considered medium heat peppers on the Scoville scale (with 2,500-5,000 units), once they’re blended and added to salsas, marinades, or rubs, their heat is a lot milder. If you’re planning on making a spicy guajillo salsa, you’ll need to add arbol chile, habaneros, or any much spicier chiles. Allow the pods more time on the plant to get sweeter and richer in flavors. The spiciness also increases as the peppers mature. Are Mirasol and Guajillo the Same?
