Storage and Preparation
Store in a cool, dry place away from light. Lightly toast the chillies in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant. Wipe clean, remove the stems and seeds, then soak in just-boiled water for 15 minutes. Drain and blend with a splash of water to make a paste, then strain before use. Always wash your hands after handling chillies.
Suggested Use
Use in enchilada and chilaquile sauces, mole, adobo, salsas, marinades, soups and stews. For a versatile red sauce, blend rehydrated Guajillo chilli with garlic, Mexican oregano and cumin, then cook the paste in a little oil before adding hot stock and simmering until glossy and brick red.
Important Information
Chillies can cause irritation when handled. Take care during preparation and avoid touching your eyes after handling. Please check the product packaging for the most up-to-date ingredient, allergen and storage information.
