Steps

  • 1

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 375°F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.

    Prepare guajillo peppers by cutting off the stems and slicing down the side of the pepper. Shake out any seeds and pull out dried veins.

    • 2 1/4 Ounce Guajillo peppers

  • 3

    Roast peppers directly on the grill grate for 3 to 4 minutes on each side depending on thickness, or until they deepen in color but are not yet blackened. Be careful not to burn them, and if you do, be sure to discard them as they will become bitter.

    375 ˚F / 191 ˚C

    Place peppers in a bowl and cover with hot water, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes.
