Mexican 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.

Simple taco sauce ingredients.

I’m on a taco kick, and I’m going to do a series of posts that feature tortillas and simple ingredients, which pack a lot of flavor.  Flavor is what I’m talking about.  And tacos are a pretty healthy indulgence while providing a good amount of satisfaction.  Just skip the high-fat additions like sour cream and heavy amounts of cheese.  You can get a lot of flavor with low-fat ingredients.

Mexican jalapeno taco sauce is just four ingredients.  Lime juice, garlic, jalapenos and cilantro.  Stick it all in a blender and let it rip for 3 or 4 minutes until everything is well blended and smooth.

Pour the sauce into a squeeze bottle and store it in the refrigerator.  It should last for 3 or 4 weeks.  Use it as a topping for traditional ground beef tacos or anything else you can think of that needs some spice and heat.  I can imagine steamed green vegetables or even as a sauce on grilled chicken.  Slice up some radishes, extra jalapeno and garnish with a little more cilantro.  Yum.

    Yum; I LOVE this stuff! Joe had made this while I was gone. When I got home, I didn’t know there was a squeeze bottle of the sauce in the frig, but I did see a little bit in a bowl so I grabbed a tortilla and scraped it up and I was in heaven. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Joe promised that we would have it on tacos tomorrow night. Taco Tuesday!
