Subway Chipotle Southwest Sauce can be made at home in about 5 minutes with just a few simple ingredients. This creamy, delicious sauce is the perfect way to add zesty flavor to a sandwich, hamburger, taco and more.

 

I have enjoyed recreating some of my favorite sauces like Taco Bell’s cheese sauce, Chick-Fil-A Polynesian sauce, Arby’s sauce and Wingstop ranch to serve with meals at home. It’s a great way to bring flavor and a little piece of a restaurant to many dishes.

If you have ever visited a Subway restaurant you probably know there are many different Subway sauces to choose from when you are constructing a sandwich. But if you really want to spice up your sandwich, this chipotle southwest sauce adds the perfect amount of flavor and heat.

Southwest Chipotle Sauce ingredients

• Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce – You will find these in a can usually in the international aisle of most grocery stores. They are typically sold in 7 oz cans so you will only need half of the can.
• Mayonnaise – This is the base that gives the sauce a creaminess.
• Sour cream – Adds a little extra tang and creamy texture.
• Ranch seasoning – Ranch seasoning mix is the secret that separates this Subway sauce from others.
• Fresh lime juice – Lime juice bright flavor and balance to the chipotle sauce.
