Pronounced "Gwa-he-yo", the Guajillo chile is most frequently sold as a whole chile. This is another chile from Mexico and these are considered a mild heat chile. The Gujillo has an earthy, bright red in color and the flavor while slightly hot is not overpowering with a simple dried-chile taste. It also has a hint of smoky tartness. Along with the Ancho chile which has a deeper richer taste, the Guajillo, with its zesty and spicy taste, is one of the workhorse chiles that are popular in many Mexican cooked dishes, soups, stews, salsas and sauces.
