Guajillo is a Capsicum Annum which is sometimes called "Chile de
Comida". It is mildly pungent and some think it might be an ancestor
of the New Mexico varieties. It is normally dried and used in moles,
enchiladas and sauces.
It is 4-6 inches long and 1-1 1/2 inches across and is one of the
most common Chiles grown in Mexico. I have a plant growing in the
greenhouse.
