Chile guajillo
From Cookipedia
(Redirected from Guajillo chiles)
A guajillo chili (chile guajillo in Spanish), little gourd, is a variety of chili pepper of the species Capsicum annuum, which is widely used in the cuisine of Mexico.
Its fruits are large and mild. The flavour is of a green tea, a tart edge with tannic notes and a sweet heat.
They are used to make the salsa for tamales; the dried fruits are seeded, soaked, puréed to a thin paste, then cooked with salt and several other ingredients to produce a bright red, flavourful sauce.
