Ancho or Guajillo Chile Powder
Ancho or guajillo chile powder is ground dried chile used for warm fruitiness and gentle to moderate heat. Add it in small amounts, bloom it briefly in fat when useful, and keep it dry so the flavor stays clear.
Identity
Dry chile seasoning
Use for warmth, color, and mild chile depth.
Dried chile powders spread quickly through sauces, rubs, beans, soups, and corn dishes. They taste best when fresh and fragrant. Add gradually, because the heat and bitterness can build as the dish reduces.
