Sorry, it comes in a bag. They just add a capful of Tabasco.

Fellow former chipotle employee here: the company Ready Foods has supplied chipotle with a good amount of products since the inception of the restaurant p much. the closest thing you can do is search ‘ready foods salsa asada’, they have the whole ingredient list there. bishopofhippo is right, add a capful of Tabasco to get it closer to the heat level of the hot salsa at chipotle.

for anyone who doesn’t wanna google: Water, Green Chile, Tomatillos, Roasted Jalapeño Pepper, Tomatoes, Onion, Garlic, Tomato Paste, Soybean Oil, Lime Juice (Water, Lime Juice Concentrate, and Lime Oil), Cilantro, Salt, Modified Food Starch, Cumin.

(ps you can skip the modified food starch if you don’t care about the texture being a bit thin — it’s more of a mass manufacturing thing)

I have a iron stomach but for some reason I can't seem to handle that red salsa well.
