frequently asked questions:
Yes! The original at Chipotle does contain fresh cilantro, and my copycat tomato salsa does contain cilantro. If you aren't a fan of cilantro, you can always skip it!
Not at all! It's a very mild salsa. If you like a little more heat, add more jalapeños.
In my mind, I think it is! It does contain tomatoes that have carbs, but it's not that many.
