Chipotle roasted chili-corn salsa calories are 80 for a 3.5 oz serving, carrying 16 g of carbohydrate. Every other salsa on the line sits at 4 g. Corn is a starch, and this is the one condiment on the menu that can quietly undo a low-carb order.

Sixteen grams is more carbohydrate than a scoop of cauliflower rice (5 g) and roughly three-quarters of what black beans bring (22 g). On a keto order built carefully around dropping rice and beans, a scoop of corn salsa puts a meaningful share of it straight back. It also brings 3 g of fiber and 4 g of sugar.
Corn salsa costs 55 more calories and 12 g more carbohydrate than fresh tomato salsa, and saves 220 mg of sodium. It is the better choice on a sodium-controlled order and the worse one on a carb-controlled order — an unusually clean trade-off.

No, corn salsa is not keto-friendly. At 16 g of carbohydrate a serving it carries four times what any other salsa does, since corn is a starch. That is more than a scoop of cauliflower rice at 5 g. The keto guide recommends the two tomatillo salsas instead, at 4 g each.
Chipotle rates roasted chili-corn salsa as medium heat. The roasted poblano and jalapeño provide that heat, and the sweetness of the corn partly offsets it. The corn is also why this salsa carries 16 g of carbohydrate and 4 g of sugar, against 4 g and 3 g for fresh tomato salsa.
