Asked nothing to Chipotle's Best Kitchen to learn how to make the new Chipotle Cilantro Lime Sauce from the mastermind herself, Chef Danny. The sauce was inspired by chef's Mexican upbringing and memories of smelling roasted jalapenos at home as she was growing up. It all starts with hand chopped cilantro, jalapenos that gets roasted on a plancha for that deep smoky aroma. That gets blended all together with lime juice to create this beautiful green paste. We season it with our secret blend of toasted Mexican spices, and finish it off with a mix of sour cream, and the result is one of the most fresh, creamy citrusy sauces that brightens up every bad. And just when you think it's done, you get a nice touch of heat and smokiness from the jalapeno. I just love the idea of a sauce being made fresh in house every day before service to ensure peak quality, and if I could choose one thing to pair this with, one thing, get the Alfonso Quesadilla. Absolutely insane. New cilantro lime sauce, out no, go try it.
