(2,674 posts)New favorite, so handy when you need just a little bit of Chipolte, don't have to open a can of Chipolte in adobo sauce. I use the cubes in chili, tinga and carne guisado. Sold at Fiesta Supermarket.

But I never knew what Chili seco, guajillo or pasillo were since I always use fresh chilis.
Thanks

(36,827 posts)Paprika, cayenne, crushed red pepper flakes, etc. Lots of spice mixes have dried chilies in them.
I like to combine fresh and dried chilies in recipes like chili con carne and salsa. Rather than buying them in powdered form I think it's better to buy them whole and grind them yourself. A cheap whirlybird coffee grinder is all you need or you can do it in a food processor or blender. Just don't stick your nose in right after processing as you'll pepper spray yourself (don't ask how I know this).
