For a smoother sauce, consider using tomato puree instead of tomato sauce.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the level of spiciness.
Store leftover taco sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
Taste the sauce before cooling, and adjust seasonings to your preference. A pinch more cumin or chili powder can make a big difference.

    So easy and quick to make. I halved the recipe since it was just for me, and it came out perfectly. I love that I can control the ingredients and make it as spicy as I want.

  • Fannie Kovacek

    I made this taco sauce last night, and it was a HUGE hit! Way better than anything I've bought at the store. I added a little smoked paprika for extra flavor.

  • Alicia Senger

    This recipe is a game-changer! My kids actually prefer tacos now that I make my own sauce. I've been experimenting with different chili powders to find our favorite blend.

  • Vernie Hodkiewicz

    Freezing it in portions is a great idea! I always end up with leftover taco sauce that goes bad. This recipe solves that problem. Thank you!
