Pasilla Dried Chiles (Chile Negro) – Rich & Mild Mexican Flavor

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.

From the Maker

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.
