Compare seven dip, salsa and sauce options. Each price and calorie value below refers to the portion named on its card.
Prices are examples from one official restaurant menu, before tax. Local pricing, portions and availability vary. Salsa cards show large sides, not entrée toppings. Images are illustrative. View the example official menu .
Chipotle’s dips and salsas let you change the flavor of a meal without changing its main ingredients. Fresh Tomato Salsa adds a mild topping, Tomatillo-Red Chili Salsa brings more heat, and Guacamole or Queso Blanco gives you a creamy option for dipping chips.
The menu includes four main salsas, Guacamole and Queso Blanco, plus Cilantro Lime Sauce where available. You can choose toppings for an entrée, order separate sides or select a chips-and-dip combination.
This guide covers Chipotle’s US dips and salsa menu, including heat levels, serving sizes, published calories, example prices and ordering options. Official information was checked in October 2026; availability and prices vary by restaurant.
Chipotle Dips and Salsa Menu Overview
Start with the flavor and texture you want. The four salsas offer different heat levels, while the dips give you avocado or cheese-based choices.
| Item | Category | Heat or characteristic |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh Tomato Salsa | Salsa | Mild |
| Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa | Salsa | Medium |
| Tomatillo-Green Chili Salsa | Salsa | Medium |
| Tomatillo-Red Chili Salsa | Salsa | Hot |
| Guacamole | Dip or topping | Avocado-based |
| Queso Blanco | Dip or topping | Cheese-based |
| Cilantro Lime Sauce | Sauce | Herb and citrus flavor; limited-time |
Chipotle’s official ordering menu identifies the salsa heat levels and lists separate portions of Guacamole, Queso Blanco and Cilantro Lime Sauce.
A topping and a side are not always the same serving. Check the exact item selected before comparing its calories or price.
Chipotle Fresh Tomato Salsa
Fresh Tomato Salsa is Chipotle’s mild salsa. It is the starting point for customers who want salsa without choosing one of the menu’s medium or hot options.
Its chunky texture makes it useful as both a topping and a dip. Choose it when you want tomato pieces in your burrito, bowl or tacos, or order it with chips for a simple side.
“Mild” is a menu classification rather than a guarantee that every customer will find it completely free of heat. If you are particularly sensitive to spicy food, start with a small amount.
The checked menu offers Chips & Fresh Tomato Salsa and a separate Large Fresh Tomato Salsa. Check official options .
Chipotle Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa
Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa is marked medium on the menu. It provides a different texture from the tomatillo salsas because corn is its central feature.
Choose it when you want a chunky addition to your meal. You can also combine it with another salsa: corn and fresh tomato give you two chunky toppings, while corn and green salsa provide a different combination of textures.
These combinations are customization ideas. They do not represent separately named menu items or fixed nutrition totals.
Chipotle lists both Chips & Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa and a Large Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa side on its ordering menu .
Chipotle Tomatillo-Green Chili Salsa
Tomatillo-Green Chili Salsa is the medium green salsa. It is an alternative to Fresh Tomato Salsa when you want a saucier topping with more heat.
It works as a topping for the fillings you choose or as a dip alongside chips. If you are deciding between green and red salsa, the official heat labels provide a useful starting point: green is medium, while red is hot.
For a first order, consider requesting the salsa separately where the ordering screen allows it. This lets you control how much you add to the finished meal.
The checked menu includes Chips & Tomatillo-Green Chili Salsa and a separate large side. View official options .
Chipotle Tomatillo-Red Chili Salsa
Tomatillo-Red Chili Salsa is Chipotle’s hot salsa. Among the four main salsas, it is the one to choose when the menu’s hottest classification matches your preference.
A small amount can change the character of a meal. If you are unsure about your tolerance, ordering it separately gives you more control than having the full portion mixed throughout a burrito.
You can pair red salsa with Guacamole or Queso Blanco for contrasting flavors and textures. Each selected portion still contributes to the order’s price and nutrition.
Chipotle lists Chips & Tomatillo-Red Chili Salsa and a Large Tomatillo-Red Chili Salsa side. View official options .
Chipotle Guacamole
Guacamole is Chipotle’s avocado-based dip. The company describes it as hand-mashed throughout the day using Hass avocados, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, citrus juice and salt. Read Chipotle’s ingredient description .
It adds a creamy texture while keeping some of the character of mashed avocado. Order it inside your meal, separately as a dip or with chips.
The presence of jalapeño means you should not assume Guacamole contains no spicy ingredients. Its flavor is different from the menu’s hot salsa, but individual spice sensitivity varies.
Regular and large sides appear on the checked menu. Choose the size based on how much you intend to eat or share, then review the charge before checkout.
Chipotle Queso Blanco
Queso Blanco is Chipotle’s cheese dip. It is available as an entrée addition and as a separate side, including a large portion.
The important distinction is portion size. The published nutrition chart lists a smaller entrée topping portion than a regular side, so using “queso calories” without specifying the serving can be misleading.
Chipotle identifies its queso as suitable for vegetarians who eat dairy, explaining that it uses vegetable-based rennet. It is not a vegan option. Check the official dietary guide .
If you want queso primarily for chips, select the chips-and-queso combination or the appropriate separate side. If you want it in your bowl or burrito, review the topping option for that entrée.
Chipotle Cilantro Lime Sauce
Cilantro Lime Sauce is an additional sauce choice rather than one of the four core salsas. Chipotle describes it as made fresh daily with cilantro, lime, Mexican spices and roasted jalapeños.
The official product page identifies it as limited-time, so confirm availability at your selected restaurant.
The checked ordering menu includes regular and large sides. You can consider it when you want another sauce for your meal or chips, but review its current ingredients and allergen information before making dietary assumptions.
Chipotle Dip and Salsa Calories
Use the nutrition for the exact portion you order. The following core topping figures come from Chipotle’s published US nutrition chart.
| Item | Published portion | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh Tomato Salsa | 4 oz | 25 |
| Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa | 4 oz | 80 |
| Tomatillo-Green Chili Salsa | 2 fl oz | 15 |

| Queso Blanco — regular side | 4 oz | 240 |
| Queso Blanco — large side | 8 oz | 480 |
These figures describe the published servings, rather than every scoop or customized order. View the official US nutrition chart .
Separate Side Calories
The checked ordering menu also displays these side totals:
| Side item | Listed calories |

| Large Fresh Tomato Salsa | 40 |
| Large Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa | 120 |

For a full meal, count the entrée, chips, dips and drink together. Use the official nutrition calculator for your selected ingredients.

Vegetarian, Vegan and Allergen Information
Chipotle identifies its core salsas, chips and Guacamole as vegan and vegetarian. Queso contains dairy and is suitable for vegetarians who eat dairy, but not vegans.
For allergies, check the complete official allergen guide . Chipotle warns that foods can come into contact during preparation and that corn products may contain trace gluten from agricultural commingling. Promotional items may also have different allergen profiles.
A vegan designation does not mean an item is free from every allergen. Tell the restaurant about an allergy before ordering and check newer sauces separately.
