Pasilla Oaxaca chiles are produced only in the hilly Oaxaca region of southern Mexico and are a notable addition to the spice pantry. These chiles have strong smoky character, a scant hint of fruit, and a heat level that is pure and sharp but not overwhelming.
p>With more smoky flavor but less heat than the chipotle, you'll find many was to enjoy this chile. Excellent in Latin style bean dishes and soups, Pasilla Oaxaca imparts a rich smoky flavor. Simply drop one into the pot—like you would a bay leaf—and remove it before serving.
