Rico Rico – 100% Natural | Gourmet-Grade | Medium Heat

Rico Rico's Guajillo Dried Chiles are a bold, flavorful ingredient essential to traditional Mexican cooking. Known for their deep red color and smooth, leathery skin, Guajillo peppers offer a slightly sweet, fruity flavor with a medium heat kick — making them ideal for a variety of sauces, salsas, and rubs.

These dried Mexican peppers are a popular choice in dishes like tamales, mole, tacos al pastor, and birria. They can be used whole, rehydrated and blended into paste, or ground into spice rubs. Stored in a cool, dry place, they can last up to a year.

From the Maker

Rico Rico

Sourced from Puebla, Zacatecas, Oaxaca & Aguascalientes, Mexico

Rico Rico was founded on a simple mission: to bring authentic, high-quality Mexican dried chiles to home cooks, chefs, and food businesses across North America. The brand sources directly from Mexico's traditional chile-growing regions — Puebla for anchos and chipotles, Zacatecas and Aguascalientes for guajillos, Oaxaca for pasillas — working with local farmers on every harvest. From sweet, smoky ancho to fiery chile de árbol, each batch is carefully selected and quality-tested before packaging, delivering the deep, layered flavor at the heart of salsas, moles, and birria.
