As for the sauces, Subway customers will now be able to try out two new creamy options. Smoky and spicy, the 'Baja Chiptole' is flavored with chipotle, guajillo peppers, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano garlic, onion, and lime. On the zestier side of things, the 'Peppercorn Ranch' sauce draws from buttermilk, black pepper, onion, garlic, and herbs.
