Cooking Tips
- Guajillo chillies have a mild heat level and are also sweet & fruity. You can add guajillo chillies to pretty much anything to bring added heat as well as flavour.
- Add to your chilli con carne or mix into a salsa for a brighter, fuller flavour.
- Stir into refried black beans.
- Sprinkle onto your scrambled eggs with some fresh coriander for Mexican twist.
- Add to any tomato based sauce for added flavour and mild spice.
- For aesthetic purposes, guajillo chillies also have value owing to their bright red colour. They contrast nicely with the paler shades of common staples such as rice & pasta or green veg like avocado, courgette & aubergine.
