Mirasol chilies are a distinctive variety named for the way they grow upright toward the sun (“mirasol” means looking at the sun). When fresh, they are bright red with smooth skin and offer a mild to medium heat with a clean, slightly fruity flavor.
Commonly dried and known as Guajillo chilies, mirasol chilies are widely used in sauces, salsas, marinades, and traditional dishes. They add rich red color and depth of flavor without excessive spiciness, making them a versatile chili for everyday cooking
