Open the jar and serve chilled or at room temperature. It is ready to use straight from the container. For a more intense flavor, you can gently warm it on the stovetop or in the microwave. It pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips as a simple appetizer. It can also be stirred into stews or used as a base for chili. Its smoky notes complement grilled meats and vegetables, adding depth to their natural flavors.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a fresh salsa, this product offers convenience and a consistent flavor. The addition of chipotle peppers provides a distinct smoky heat that is different from the bright, fresh taste of a salsa verde made only with tomatillos and cilantro. It is generally thicker than many fresh salsas.

How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused salsa to a clean, airtight container. Refrigerate promptly. It is best consumed within a week or two for optimal freshness and flavor. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent spoilage and maintain its quality.
