Chipotle Hot Red Chilie Sauce

Posted:
in AppleOutsider edited January 2014
I am a huge fan of chipotle; but I can't afford to eat there on my diet everyday. While its a 5 min walk from my office, I need to resist. However, something that would help me hold over is a red chili sauce that I can buy in grocery store. Chipotle's hot salsa tasets sooooo good, but I can't find anything in stores that comes close to the flavor.



Does anyone have any suggestions, or even know what the heck I'm talking about?

    What I'd like to know... How do you pronounce "chipotle"?



    The obvious Spanish pronunciation, chee POHT lay? Or something else?

    I pronounce it chii-pole-lay, where the chii sounds like chip without the "p".

    Chipotle is pronounced chee-POT-tleh. The POT has a not quite long O sound. The tleh comes off sounding almost as two syllables. The word comes directly from the Nuahtl language. It's most well known speakers were the Aztecs. The language is still (relatively) widely known in Mexico.



    Without going into the recipe, Chipotle's are basically smoked and sauced Jalapenos.

    It's not the chipotle sauce I am wanting. I am trying to find a store-purchasable alternative to the lovely Tomatillo Red-Chili Salsa that upsets my stomach for 24 hours, and makes for awkward situations at my girlfriend's house when I am there for those 24 hours.



    Please help me

    we always laugh when people from Spain try to say a word with the "tl" or "x" sound. They can't!



    Losers.

    tabasco makes a chipotle sauce that's ok. Otherwise, all "Chipotle" does is add liquid smoke to regular sauce and bingo.

    There's a chain of burrito restaurants called Chipotle. Think of it as Subway for burritos. Really quite good. I eat there about twice a week.

    My favorite pronunciation is from a Jack-in-the-Box commercial: "chip-ih-tahb-lay"?



    chee-poh-tleh



    Chipotle is the only enchilada sauce I make. It is too hot for the wife but she suffers through because it's awesome.

    Yeah, I've seen 'em. The restaurant chain "Chipotle" is owned by McDonalds, hence my suggestion to add liquid smoke to the sauce of your choice.

    From where do you get this info? I thought they were an independent, private company.

    Nope. I read it a few years ago in the Washington Post, which was on the topic of the new Chipotle restaurant in town.

    If you don't find such a sauce at Hot Hot Hot (search for keyword chipotle), nobody can help you. But be warned.



    Their most famous sauces are DOA Cyanide Hot Sauce and Rigor Mortis Hot Sauce
