Just as I predicted, the guajillo pepper is popping up all over the place. Today comes what looks to be a divine recipe for strawberry ice cream with guajillo and lime from Lisa Fain of The Homesick Texan. She lives in New York blogs about Texas food.

  1. This is a great blog…I check it often. The recipe sounds great and simple. I would suggest Fiesta Mart for the chiles. They probably will have them in bulk.

  2. Agree. I like Homesick Texan. That ice cream sounds delish.

  4. a guajillo is a chile, not a pepper.

  5. Avid, it is my understanding that the term is interchangeable. If the pepper is dried it is referred to as a chile. If I’m wrong, let me know.

  6. Chile is just Spanish for pepper (i.e., Capsicum), whether fresh or dried. Though I’d probably use “chile,” there’s nothing wrong with Nancy’s use of “guajillo pepper.”
