Guajillo chili sauce is made with mild dried chili with a fruity flavor. It is one of the most popular chilis in Mexico to prepare sauces. In this recipe, the chiles are not roasted like in many other salsa recipes, which allows the flavor of the guajillo to come through.
It is usually intensely red in color, slightly spicy, and its flavor is mild and pleasant. There are also different varieties with different levels of spicy.
This is a versatile sauce that goes well with many Mexican (and not Mexican) dishes. Try this guajillo chili sauce on tacos, enchiladas, chicken, scrambled eggs, etc.
