🌮 Product Description:

Rico Rico’s Pasilla Dried Chiles, also known as Chile Negro, are the dried version of the long, dark green chilaca pepper. As they mature, they turn a rich dark brown and develop a mild but complex flavor — earthy, smoky, and subtly sweet.

Pasilla chiles are commonly used in mole negro, meat marinades, and fruit-infused sauces, and pair beautifully with duck, seafood, mushrooms, honey, or garlic. Whether you stuff them, blend them, or powder them, Pasilla brings true Oaxacan depth to your Mexican cuisine.
