Guajillo chilies are thick brown chiles that contain mild to moderate amounts of heat. Four to six inches long, Guajillos is the dried version of the Mirasol. They have thin flesh and a shiny, deep reddish brown color. Guajillos have a sweet heat, and are tannic with a hint of pine, the Guajillo, pronounced gwah-HEE-yoh, means "little gourd" for the rattling sound the seeds make in the dried pods.
