I admit it, there are certain items that I really enjoy eating at Taco Bell red sauce. I have ever since I was a kid. It was one of our weekly lunch stops in High School. Yes, I know it’s not authentic Mexican food, but when you like something, well, you overlook things like taco bell mild sauce recipe.

One thing I enjoy at Taco Bell is a warm flavorful condiment called red sauce. It is not the hot sauce that comes in a packet; it is the steaming hot red sauce that is served on their tostadas, enchiritos and their Mexican pizza. This Taco Bell red sauce recipe is about as close to the original taste as you can get!!! It will have people going crazy when you make enchiladas at home.

Taco Bell Red Sauce Recipe

It’s simple and easy to make. It will totally blow away any can or bottled sauce you buy off a grocery store shelf for just a fraction of the price. The only exception would be is if you can find a carneceria in your neighborhood.

The ingredients are simple and ones you probably already have. It has tomato sauce, cumin, white vinegar, instant minced onion, garlic powder, garlic salt, paprika (I like mind with a little smoked paprika), cayenne pepper, water and a little sugar.

That’s all you need …

1 (8 ounce) can of tomato sauce

1/3 cup water

1/4 teaspoon chili powder

1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 1/2 teaspoons dry onion flakes

1 tablespoon white vinegar

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon white sugar

1/8 teaspoon cayenne

(Optional 2-3 jalapenos or pasilla peppers-seeded)

Mix everything and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Serve it hot or cold and it will make an excellent enchilada sauce. The spicyness is mild by my standards but that can be tweaked with a little bit more cayenne pepper or using some blended jalapenos or for a juiced up version some pasilla peppers. It is a little bit spicier if you let it sit in the fridge overnight.

In a saucepan, add the spices and vinegar to one can of tomato sauce. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool. Keep refrigerated for a week. Today, I made some homemade jam, and I’ll bet I could make a batch of this and water can it.

There you have it, an easy peazy Taco Bell Red Sauce Recipe.
