Guajillo ‘s flavor is slightly fruity with a piney, berry under taste.  Guajillo’s have a slight smokiness with a mild warmth and are among the most commonly used chiles in Mexico.

Guajillo chilies are used in marinades, salsas, pastes, butters and spice rubs to flavor meats, fat and oil with other ingredients. The guajillo chili, with its more delicate flavor, is used with fish and chicken, or added to salsa as a side dish.
