      Guajillo Chilli Flavour Pairings
      • Spice flavour profile

      Guajillo chilli is a hot spice. It is mildly spicy however and offers sweet fruity flavours with a sour tangy aftertaste. Guajillo chilli pairs well with sweet vegetables like tomatoes, peppers and squash. Proteins like eggs, beans and meats go well with the slight sourness of the guajillo chilli.

      • Spice Pairings

      Guajillo is made better by the presence of other chillies like ancho, chipotle and habanero, building a more complex flavour. Other flavour pairings include cumin, black pepper, oregano and garlic.
