Guajillo is one of the most popular chilis in Mexico. When it’s fresh, it’s known as Mirasol

It has an earthy and slightly tart taste. In terms of heat, it sits around middle of the scale. Hotter than Ancho and Pasilla, but milder than Chipotle and Arbol. 

It’s great for the very famous Tacos al Pastor!
