Chile Guajillo aka The MBP

Mild heat, deep flavor—this chile is a Mexican kitchen essential.

The guajillo chile is a classic in salsas, marinades, moles, adobos and guisos that taste like Sunday with family. It’s slightly smoky, a little sweet, and full of color and sabor. Always rinse it, remove the stem and seeds, and soak it in hot water before blending. That’s how you unlock its full potential.

This isn’t just a chile—it’s the base of your next great salsa roja.

✔ Bright red, full-flavored chile
✔ Mild heat, bold taste
