The Mexican Holy Trinity is a set of three chilli powders that make up the base of so many Mexican meals. The chilli powders themselves have different flavour and heat profiles that add up to a complex blend that will add lots of authenticity to your dishes. Add some Mexican Oregano, and your food will be bursting with flavour!
Ancho Chilli Powder – Slightly sweet and smoky, this low heat powder is one of the most sold in Mexico.
Pasilla Chilli Powder – About as hot as jalapeno, but with a sweet, almost raisin like flavour.
Guajillo Chilli Powder – This one is also about jalapeno heat, but has a rich, tannic flavour that goes very well with meat and vegetable dishes.
The heat from chillies is a subjective thing we find; what some may find too hot, others might find tame. Therefore, you should go easy on chillies, chilli powders and blends with chilli powders in them to find the heat level you like. If you are tasting as you go, you can always add a little more if you need to, but taking heat out is difficult if not impossible.
Buying the Mexican Holy Trinity Set saves 10% (ish) over buying them individually.
