Homemade Jalapeno Taco Sauce Recipe

Mexican jalapeno taco sauce.  Squeeze some of this tear-inducing sauce on your taco and dream of Acapulco.  And make sure you have some tissues ready in case your nose starts running, (like mine did).  This is a simple taco sauce that packs some heat, but it’s a good heat and tastes great.

My homemade marinara sauce was developed when I got tired…
