FAQ

What if I don’t have green chili hot sauce?

If you don’t have a green chili sauce, or can’t find one at the store - use a green salsa instead. It will be similar, but green chili sauce is a bit smoother with a more savory taste. Green salsa or salsa verde will be much more tangy and thick in . Alternatively, you could use any red hot sauce.
