Pasilla Chile (Chile Pasilla) is one of the dried chiles in the “holy trinity” used to prepare Mexican moles. This chile is the dried form of the Chilaca chile which is left on the plant to ripen to a dark brown color then picked and dried. Pasilla translates to “little raisin”, which describes the wrinkly black skin and dried fruit flavor. These chiles are thin and long with mild heat and deep, smoky flavor that tastes of dark chocolate. In addition to moles, add to salsas and tortilla soup.
