TABASCO^® brand
Chipotle Pepper Sauce

TABASCO^® brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce is made from select smoked red jalapeño peppers and has a smooth, rich smoky flavor. And it's our first pepper sauce that you can sprinkle on like a condiment, or really pour on like a steak sauce or marinade!

You can dash it on drop-by-drop, but you can also use a generous amount to marinate chicken, steak, pork and more – because it's not just about adding heat, it's about adding great smoky flavor. It's the perfect sauce for marinating and grilling to your heart's content.

A Flavorful History

Before the time of the Aztecs, ancient Mexican civilizations prized the chipotle pepper for its dark, smoky flavor. Using a centuries-old method, vine-ripened red jalapeño peppers are slow-smoked to perfection over a smoldering fire, and the peppers produce a rich, thick-bodied sauce ideally balanced in heat and flavor.

Not too hot, and not too mild, the result is a smoky, flavorful sauce that'll make you want to fire up the grill – and it's great for grilling flank steak, fajitas, hamburgers and vegetables. Its heat level is in between that of TABASCO® brand Garlic Pepper Sauce and Original TABASCO® brand Pepper Sauce, and its Scoville Unit Rating is 1500-2500. (Wondering what a Scoville Unit Rating is?)
