🌮 Product Description:
Rico Rico’s Guajillo Dried Chiles are a bold, flavorful ingredient essential to traditional Mexican cooking. Known for their deep red color and smooth, leathery skin, Guajillo peppers offer a slightly sweet, fruity flavor with a medium to high heat kick — making them ideal for a variety of sauces, salsas, and rubs.
These dried Mexican peppers are a popular choice in dishes like tamales, mole, tacos al pastor, and chiles en nogada. They can be used whole, rehydrated and blended into paste, or ground into spice rubs. Stored in a cool, dry place, they can last up to a year.

This is my second year buying chiles from Olé RIco. Dried chiles are hard to find in my area. Have been very happy with the speed of shipping and the quality of the chiles. I only wish Olé Rico sold corn husks too as they are also hard to find in my area. If they did it would be one stop tamale shopping for me.
Speedy delivery with excellent quality.
I love guajillos. Their flavor is unbeatable. I use them to make my refried beans & enchilada sauce. I can't be without them.
