Subway Chipotle Southwest Sauce

It’s real folks, you can actually make one of my most favored subway sauces right at home! I’m so excited about this one because there was a time I ordered packs of them from the Subway Restaurant, (talk about pregnancy cravings!), And when I order a subway sandwich you’re likely to see this orange zesty chipotle sauce drizzled over my Subway Club, Black Forest Ham or Oven-Roasted Chicken Sandwich! Trust me I know how it needs to taste I used to work at subway so, I’m pretty familiar with the flavor profile!

Now just because I worked at Subway doesn’t mean we knew the sauce recipes, they simply came pre-made. It wasn’t until years later that I decided to replicate my favorite Subway sauce. The recipe development was a total hit even though I threw out batches of it before it reached the perfect stage!

Making Subway Chipotle Southwest Sauce

As of a result, after inspecting the sauce that I ordered to go one day, I realized it had specks of dried herbs in it like a bottle of ranch dressing. That gave me the clue that it had to be ranch with chipotle peppers and sure enough, it took off from there. I tried and tried, added sour cream, more mayo tossed, and started again until it tasted just like the Southwest Chipotle sauce that I had right beside me to compare!

I had my sister-in-law as the testing individual who had to put up with all my different creations and she herself said you got it! (Before you think she was just being gullible she was actually quite difficult to please because she too knows her chipotle sauce, so let’s just say I had some straightforward feedback to deal with.) 😆

However, I couldn’t be any more excited about this! Making the Subway Chipotle Southwest Sauce was quite rewarding when I got it to taste like Subway’s sauce! I want to hear from you! Leave your feedback and comments below!

Q&A

What is in Subways Southwest Chipotle Sauce?

The Subway Southwest Chipotle sauce is among my favorite subway sauces! Recognized from its orange color the southwest chipotle sauce is spicy, zesty, and sweet! The flavors mostly come from canned adobo peppers and with the right spices and creamy base you can create one of the tastiest sandwich sauces!

Ingredients:

  • ranch dressing- the creamy base with speckled herbs.
  • mayo- adds creaminess.
  • sugar-sweetens the sauce.
  • chipotle peppers-the main ingredient for southwest flavors!
  • onion powder-adds tons of flavor!
  • vinegar- gives tartness.
  • garlic powder-flavors the sauce.

Is it Spicy?

The Southwest Chipotle Sauce from Subway is spicy. However, it shouldn’t be too overwhelming.

How long does it keep?

Prepared sauces can keep for some time, especially when made from already prepared items like ranch or mayo. Keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze.

Tips:

  1. Use a hand blender or blender to beat everything together.
  2. Squeezable bottles help with storing the sauce properly and prevent the sauce from darkening.
  3. Keep Sauce for up to 2 weeks or freeze.
  4. To make it less spicy decrease the amount of adobo sauce.

    Very good sauce. Really got to let it sit for awhile before it taste close to the subway chipotle southwest sauce. Depending on your brand of chipotle in Adobe beware of the vinegar. Otherwise a solid sauce.

    I live in an area where I can’t find chilis in adobo sauce. Can Chipotle hot sauce/pepper sauce be substituted instead?

      Hi Brittany, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce have a distinct flavor very similar to the southwest sauce, so I can’t really think of good substitutes. Usually, these small cans can be found near the Mexican foods in most grocery stores.
