Pasilla is the dried form of the Chilaca chile and means little raisin in Spanish. This refers to its appearance with dark brown wrinkled skin. Use this pepper fresh for enchilada sauce or salsas. Use it dried and powdered in Mexican mole sauces. This heirloom is easy to grow. 

Have you used Pasillas before?  They’re a workhorse chile that will frequently pop up in traditional Mexican sauces and salsas.

Like most dried chiles, they have a different name than their fresh counterpart.  So to get a Pasilla chile you need to start with a ripe Chilaca chile.  De-hydrate it and you’ve got a Pasilla on your hands.

You may also see Pasillas referred to as Pasilla Negro chiles or Chile Negros.Narrow 8-10" peppers are mildly hot with a sweet flavor when fresh, and a rich smoky flavor when dried.
