Tajin Whole Dried Guajillo Chillies, 75g

Notify me when this product is available:

Guajillo chillies are one of the most commonly used chillies in Mexico. They are sweet in flavour with slight berry and green tea flavours and have a mild to medium chilli heat. In Mexican cooking, they are almost always paired with other dried chillies such as ancho and pasilla and they are a favourite in traditional mole sauces.

As with most dried chillies, they benefit from being toasted in a dry pan before being soaked in hot water for 15 minutes. Paired with ancho chillies they make a excellent barbecue marinade.

1. Rip up the ancho chillies (discarding the seeds) and dry roast in a pan along with the guajillo chillies for 1-2 minutes.

3. Blend the chillies with the cumin, cloves, garlic, salt and enough of the soaking liquid to make a smooth paste.
