Chipotle ketchup sauce tastes tomatoey, tangy, and mildly spicy, with a smoky note from chipotle peppers. It brings more depth than plain ketchup without usually being as fiery as a hot chilli sauce.
Chipotle ketchup sauce is usually mildly spicy rather than intensely hot. The heat varies by recipe, so start with a small amount if you are sensitive to chilli or serving it to someone who is.
Chipotle ketchup sauce is generally made with a tomato-ketchup base, chipotle peppers, and seasonings. Recipes differ, so the exact ingredients and balance of sweetness, tang, smoke, and heat depend on the particular sauce.
Use chipotle ketchup sauce as a dip, a burger condiment, or a drizzle over roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables. Add it at the table when you want its smoky chilli flavour to remain noticeable.
Yes, chipotle ketchup sauce can work in a quick marinade for chicken, tofu, or vegetables. Its tomato and sugar content can brown quickly, so wipe off excess sauce and avoid cooking it over very high heat.
To make chipotle ketchup sauce at home, stir a little minced chipotle pepper or chipotle powder into plain ketchup. Taste as you go, then add a small splash of lime juice if you want extra tang.
Use regular ketchup mixed with a little smoked paprika and a small pinch of chilli as a substitute for chipotle ketchup sauce. This gives a similar smoky, mildly spicy direction, though it will not taste exactly the same.
No, chipotle ketchup sauce is tomato-based, while chipotle mayo is mayonnaise-based and usually creamier and richer. Both can taste smoky and mildly spicy, but they behave differently as dips and sandwich spreads.
Keep opened chipotle ketchup sauce tightly closed in the refrigerator and use a clean utensil when serving it. Follow the storage directions on its package, and discard it if you notice mould, an unusual smell, or a clear change in appearance.
Chipotle ketchup sauce pairs well with fries, roasted potatoes, grilled corn, eggs, and crispy chicken. For a simple snack, serve it alongside onion rings or use a small amount as a dip for savoury pastries.

Chipotle ketchup sauce combines the familiar sweet-tangy tomato base of ketchup with chipotle, a smoked, dried jalapeño chilli. It has a smooth consistency and a smoky aroma, with gentle heat rather than an intense burn. Recipes vary, but the chilli gives ordinary ketchup a deeper, savoury edge.
Use it as a dip for fries, or spoon it into burgers, sandwiches and grilled-food plates. It is also an easy way to add smoky heat to eggs or roasted vegetables. Its energy comes mainly from carbohydrates, with 26.1 g per 100 g, and very little fat. Start with a small amount if you want the flavour without letting the sweetness or chilli dominate.
