A single bag with three of Mexico’s most classic dried chiles, grown by our partner Omar and his family in Zacatecas, Mexico. Here the dry cool climate is perfectly suited to grow many of the famous Mexican chilis with full sunlight, high temperatures and perfect rainfall in rainy season.

Why “Holy Trinity”?

In Mexican cooking, Ancho, Guajillo, and Pasilla are often referred to as the “holy trinity” of dried chiles because together they form a foundational flavor base for countless dishes. From everyday salsas and marinades to deep, complex sauces like mole. Used as a trio, they give you depth, fruit, warmth and body without overwhelming heat.

Flavor Profile

  • Ancho is sweet, raisiny, gently earthy with a soft warmth
  • Guajillo is brighter and tangier, red-berry notes, a little more kick
  • Pasilla is dark, earthy, slightly smoky (naturally), with a “meaty” depth

Heat level (approx.): mild to medium (more aroma and depth than burn).


Always clean and toast the chili before use to wake up the flavors.


    Origin & craft
    All three chiles come from Zacatecas, where the dry climate and strong seasons help the pods develop and dry beautifully. They’re carefully harvested and dried to preserve aroma and sweetness. The kind of chiles you reach for when you want real Mexican depth, not just heat.

    Ancho is dried poblano. The drying transforms it like grapes to raisins
    Guajillo is dried mirasol (“looking at the sun”). Bright and vibrant
    Pasilla is dried chilaca. Darker, deeper and perfect for body in sauces

    What to use Holy Trinity for
    Salsa roja and enchilada sauce
    Mole-style sauces and slow-cooked stews
    Marinades & rubs for pork, chicken, beef, and grilled vegetables
    Chile oil and infused broths

    How to get the best flavor (quick method)
    Remove stems (and seeds if you want it milder)
    Toast briefly in a hot dry pan (20–30 sec per side), just until fragrant

    Choose your path:
    Soak 20–30 min in hot water, then blend into a smooth paste for sauces
    Grind or crush into flakes/powder for rubs, marinades and finishing

    Pairs beautifully with
    Garlic, onion, cumin, Mexican oregano, tomato, beans, corn, chocolate (for mole), and anything off the grill.
