Description
We all love a good scoop of taco sauce on our tacos, and this homemade taco sauce recipe lets you make your own in minutes at a fraction of the cost of the store-bought version.
And, it tastes just as delicious, I guarantee it! You just mix everything together and simmer it in a pot. Yes, it’s really that simple. Let’s dive in.
Taco sauce is obviously delicious on tacos, but did you know it’s also great on Chicken Taco Salad? Not in the mood for Mexican-inspired cuisine? Give this Roasted Stuffed Eggplant Salad a try for a light and fresh summer meal.
