I love chilorio and I love Pati’s recipe. I also love it with cheese. I am in my happy place when I am eating a chilorio taco. Very different from the tacos I grew up with, but just as delicious.

Chilorio is a delicious pork stew in a Guajillo based sauce, it is really yummy! Thanks so much for the kind words.

DE-LI-CIOUS!! Oh my goodness!
I have never heard of chilorio until I started watching your show, so I made it for the first time. A few changes I made were: I used part cider vinegar and orange juice, and then added some brown sugar to balance with the spice of the chiles.
Then I used it for this idea of sincronizadas…THE BEST quesadilla I’ve ever eaten. Thank you for this fantastic recipe!

La Chata Chilorio is officially a pantry staple in our house! Easy to find, since we live in Sonora, but it’s also available in the international section of most US chain grocers. Great for tacos, sincronizadas and tortas.

What other type of chile peppers could be substituted ( if any ) for guajillo peppers? I’m from a small southern town with not many pepper choices. Thank you. Love your show.

Hi Anita! Thanks for tuning in! The guajillos give it its distinct flavor, so I recommend you use them. You can find them online or at your local Latin/International store, or even some local markets. But you can also use New Mexico chiles, which are similar to guajillos. Or some people use ancho chiles, they have a different taste, but it should be delicious too.
