Taco Bell Jalapeno Sauce Recipe

This recipe lets you recreate that beloved sauce at home, offering a blend of rich flavors that can jazz up any meal.
I recommend letting the sauce chill in the fridge for a bit before serving to let the flavors meld together perfectly.
It's a breeze to make with simple ingredients like sour cream, mayo, and pickled jalapeños, and spices.
This sauce works great, drizzled over nachos, stuffed in a quesadilla, or used as a satisfying dip, it never disappoints!
