This is an improvement on Taco Bell hot sauce. It's not a copy cat, more of a riff. Cut back on the chilli powder and cayanne to reduce heat levels. It's not that spicy, but it's not mild either.

3 cupswater

2 tspcornstarch

6 ozcan tomato paste

3 Tbspapple cider vinegar

4 tspchili powder

2 tspgarlic salt

1 tspcayenne pepper

2 tspsmoked paprika

2 tsponion powder

Instructions

Step 1

In a sauce pan, combine water and cornstarch. Whisk. This will thicken your taco sauce once brought to a boil.

Step 2

Add tomato paste and whisk until fully dissolved.

Step 3

Add all spices and whisk to combine. Now bring the sauce to a boil.

Step 4

Allow to boil for five minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and check for salt levels, adjust if needed. At this point the sauce should coat the back of a spoon.

Step 5

Cut the heat and allow to cool completely on the stove top. As it cools, the sauce will thicken slightly, so don't worry if it appears to be a little thin.

Step 6

Jar and refrigerate.
