Guajillo
Guajillo is the dried form of the Mirasol and, after Ancho, the second-most-popular dried chile in Mexican cooking. The pods are long, narrow and tapered with glossy deep-red to burgundy skin, and a bright, tangy flavour — cranberry and green-tea notes — with clean medium heat. It is the backbone of red salsas, adobos and marinades. Roughly 2,500–5,000 SHU (PepperScale).
