Unveiling Chipotle’s Red Chimichurri: The Bold New Sauce You Need to Try!


What Is Red Chimichurri?

Red chimichurri is Chipotle’s latest limited-time sauce—a spicier, deeper take on the classic Argentine chimichurri. It combines roasted garlic, hand-cut cilantro, chili peppers, citrus juice and oil to create a tangy, vibrant drizzle.

Release & Availability

Chipotle launched Red Chimichurri on September 30, 2025 across its U.S. and Canada locations. It is prepared fresh daily in-restaurant and offered alongside orders as a side drizzle option.

Flavor Profile & Comparisons

Taste testers described it as “zippy” and “craveable,” likening it to a Mexican chili crisp or salsa macha. The flavor melds citrus brightness with herbal undertones, garlic punch, and heat from chili peppers.

Nutritional & Ingredient Insights

A 2-ounce serving reportedly contains about 190 calories, with 17 g of fat and moderate sodium. The sauce is made from citrus juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, cilantro, sunflower oil, guajillo and other chili peppers. Chipotle says it contains no artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors.

Best Pairings & How to Use It

Chipotle recommends pairing Red Chimichurri with:

  • A Carne Asada Burrito (rice, beans, salsa, guac, cheese, romaine)
  • A Chicken Bowl (rice, beans, chili-corn salsa, guac, cheese)
  • A Sofritas Bowl (brown rice, pinto beans, veggies, salsa, guac)

Outside Chipotle, red chimichurri (rojo chimichurri) in cuisine often includes paprika, red pepper flakes, smoked chipotle, and sometimes roasted red peppers—used as both a marinade and finishing sauce for steaks, grills, vegetables.

Why It Matters

This marks Chipotle’s first major sauce rollout in years and builds off the success of its Adobo Ranch earlier this year. The company sees it as a way to deepen customization and flavor innovation in its menu.

If you spot this on a menu near you, it’s worth giving it a drizzle—on tacos, bowls, grilled meats, or veggies—to test if this red twist becomes your new favorite.
