What You Should Know

You'd spot this jar in the condiments or hot-sauce aisle and pull it out for chips, tacos, or to add smoky heat to weeknight meals—ready-to-use, shelf-stable, and typically used at gatherings or movie nights. The vibe is adventurous and crowd-pleasing with a tangy, chunky texture; the short ingredient list (tomatillo, tomato, chipotle, onion, salt, sugar & spice) suggests a simple recipe but commercial packaging and added salt/sugar point to processed preparation.

Common Questions about Smoky Chipotle Hot Salsa, 12 OZ

That's a great question! The Smoky Chipotle Hot Salsa is low in calories, with just 20 per two tablespoons, making it a flavorful addition to your snacks without piling on the calories.
