What is Chile paste?
Chile paste
is made from dried chiles which have been soaked in water. The chiles and the water are blended into a thick paste. The paste is typically cooked before it is used to bring out the flavor of the chiles. Common varieties of chile paste are ancho and chipotle. If you make your own chile paste you can freeze it in small containers for later use.
**Tip: Making chile paste is a good use for leftover dried chiles.
Substitute for Chile paste

While you can make guajillo (or any) chile paste with just the dried chiles you can create a more flavorful finished sauce by adding some additional ingredients. This is a slightly more complex paste that includes tomato paste and garlic.
