How to Use

To cook with it, simmer it with shredded chicken or pork for a quick tinga-style filling. Refrigerate after opening and use within the time noted on the printed lid, since it contains no preservatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Frontera Chipotle Salsa contain common allergens?
The recipe is built from tomatillo, tomatoes, onion, chipotle chiles, garlic, and spices, and it does not list milk, egg, soy, wheat, or tree nuts as ingredients. Manufacturing facilities can still process multiple products, so anyone with a food allergy should read the printed ingredient panel on the jar before serving, since recipes and facility notices can change between batches.
How should I store Frontera Chipotle Salsa?
Keep an unopened jar in a cool pantry away from direct heat and sunlight. Once opened, refrigerate the jar and use it within the time frame printed on the lid, since this salsa is made without preservatives. Shake or stir before serving, since natural settling is normal, and always use a clean utensil to scoop it out of the jar.
What is the difference between Frontera Chipotle Salsa and Frontera Double Roasted Tomato Salsa?
Chipotle Salsa is rated hot and built around smoky chipotle chiles and roasted tomatillo for a deeper, spicier profile. Double Roasted Tomato Salsa is rated medium heat and leans on twice fire-roasted tomatoes for a rounder, smoky-sweet flavor. Both come in the same 16 oz jar and share the same all-natural, no-preservative recipe style.
Where is Frontera Chipotle Salsa made?
Frontera salsas are produced in the United States under recipes developed by chef Rick Bayless, rather than imported from Mexico. The jar comes in a 16 oz (1 lb) size, and Real Prime Deals offers it as a single jar or in packs of 3 and 6, which is useful for stocking up or sharing at gatherings and cookouts.
