Dried Pasilla Negro Chiles, named for their raisin-like appearance, are a staple in Mexican cuisine. With a rich, earthy flavor and mild heat, they add depth to sauces, moles and soups. Pasilla translates as “little raisin.” And this little raisin packs a gentle touch of heat, measuring at 1,000 to 2,000 Scoville Heat Units.

Pasilla Negros are the dried form of Chilaca chiles. Chilacas have a similar heat profile to the popular poblano pepper. Rehydrated before use, Pasilla Negro Chiles release complex notes of cocoa, coffee, and dried fruit, imparting a nuanced flavor profile. Blend rehydrated chiles with tomatoes, onions, garlic, and spices to make a flavorful sauce for enchiladas and tamales. Use rehydrated Pasilla Negro Chiles to fill tamales or chiles rellenos for added depth and flavor.

Mia K. ★★★★★

I was making mole for the first time and these whole chiles rehydrated perfectly, giving that deep, earthy flavor I was hoping for. The mild heat was just right for my family's tolerance without losing any complexity.

Carter B. ★★★★★

These dried pasilla chiles have that unmistakable earthy, raisin-like aroma that fills the kitchen the moment you open the bag. I used a few in a slow-simmered soup and the mild heat blended perfectly without overwhelming the other flavors.

Evelyn A. ★★★★★

I rehydrated a few for a mole and the deep, earthy flavor came through beautifully without being too spicy. They softened nicely after a short soak, perfect for blending into a smooth sauce.
