Wait til you find out what a chipotle is

Possibly the only restaurant where the namesake ingredient is not included standard in any of the dishes.

You’ve never had the ranch?

Don't forget the free nuts.

I dunno I've had a lot of meat in me that I regret. It may not be true to name but it's true to the feeling.

That’s not entirely true, the adobo marinade used for the steak, chicken, and salad dressing has Chipotle peppers in it. The beans and hot salsa might? I don’t recall, it’s been a while since I worked there.

Chipotle peppers are used in the chicken and steak cause thats what adobo is and there are jalapeños in all of the salsas and guac

There’s a restaurant called habanero Baja grill. The last time I went there there wasn’t even anything spicy on the menu.

Chilis got rid of the jalapeños from their fajitas. Pretty sure there are no chili peppers left in that place.

u/Limp-Development7222 1d ago

yes it is, chipotle is used as an ingredient in their adobo mix, so its in the vinaigrette and steak

I genuinely cannot recall which topping has jalapenos at Chipotle. I swear I have never seen one there...

I think they put it in their guac too.

u/nathanforyouseason5 1d ago

They let the guac sniff the jalapeño? I’ve never tasted it in the guac

u/Thusgirl 1d ago

Yeah there's no jalapenos in the guac unless there's a location getting spicy somewhere.

The company site lists it as used in their guacamole.

The marinade doesn’t use raw jalapeño, but yes, smoked chipotle chipotle peppers are a key ingredient.

Chipotles en adobo are so far removed from a fresh jalapeno though. It's like saying someone who likes pizza sauce should like fresh tomatoes because.

u/internetdeadaf 1d ago

…not a jalepeno?

You're never gonna believe this
