Wikipedia
A guajillo chili (''chile guajillo'' in Spanish) is a variety of chili pepper of the species ''Capsicum annuum'', which is widely used in the cuisine of Mexico. Its fruits are large and mild in flavor, with only a small amount of heat (rating 2,500 to 5,000 on the Scoville scale). They are used to make the ''salsa'' for tamales; the dried fruits are seeded, soaked, pulverized to a thin paste, then cooked with salt and several other ingredients to produce a thick, red, flavorful sauce.
