Chile Pasilla Pepper (Pasilla Negro) 2 oz

Pasilla Peppers are indigenous to Central Mexico and are a member of the chile species Capsicum annuum. The Pasilla Pepper is the dried version of the Chilaca Chiles which are dark green chiles that feature a similar heat profile to the more popular Poblano pepper. The taste is pungent and tangy but with a long lasting deep rich flavor with woodsy undertones. Pasilla Negros are considered a mild heat chile and come in at 1,000 to 2,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). This chile is a flavorful ingredient when used in your favorite Mexican recipes such as tacos, enchiladas, burritos, quesadillas and tostadas but they also work well in cream sauce dishes (especially for fish) and we also like to be a bit adventurous and use them in meat loaf, beef stew or corn chowder.
