Salsas prepared with "chiles secos" (dried chiles) are spicy sauces that add a special touch to the dishes. The choice of dry chiles depends on how hot or smoked you want this type of salsa to be. Chiles Pasilla have a distinct dark red colour and a light aroma of chocolate and raisins. Their spicy and slightly sweetish taste goes well with all kinds of dishes.
