Equipment
  • 1 food processor
  • 1 saucepan
Ingredients
  
  • 1 cup Tomato Sauce
  • 1 cup Water
  • 3 tablespoons White Vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons canned Jalapeños seeded and finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Onion Flakes
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Instructions
 
  • Finely mince the canned jalapeno slices.
    If preferred, you can use a food processor to save time and ensure the jalapenos are finely chopped.
    You can adjust the heat level by adding more or fewer jalapenos according to your taste.
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the tomato sauce, water, white vinegar, and minced jalapenos until smooth.
    Afterward, add the chili powder, dried onion flakes, salt, cayenne pepper, sugar, and garlic powder to the mixture, whisking again until everything is combined.
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring the sauce mixture frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
    Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes or until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
    This will help develop the flavors and thicken the sauce slightly.
  • Once your Taco Bell Fire Sauce has cooled, transfer it to a glass airtight container and refrigerate.
    Your batch of sauce will last in the fridge for up to two weeks, allowing you to enjoy this tasty copycat sauce recipe with your favorite Mexican food dishes.
    Now, you're all set with your homemade Taco Bell Fire Sauce.
    Spice up your meals and enjoy the bold flavors of this well-loved hot sauce.
