Taco Sauce
This is the very best taco sauce recipe I've found. Its taste is very much like Taco Bell's taco sauce.
1 (6-oz) can tomato paste 3 cups water 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1-1/2 tablespoons chili powder 2-1/2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons cornstarch 2 teaspoons white vinegar 1 tablespoon minced dried onion 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeno slices
1. Combine the tomato paste with the water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until smooth.
2. Add the cayenne pepper, chili powder, salt, cornstarch, vinegar, and dried onion. Stir.
3. Chop the jalapeno slices very fine. You can use a food processor, but don't puree. The best kind of jalapeno to use are those bottled for nachos or pizza. Add them to the mixture.
4. Heat the mixture to boiling. Continue to stir about 3 minutes and remove from the heat.
5. Let the sauce stand until cool, and then put in a tightly sealed container and refrigerate. This will last 1 to 2 months. Makes 3 1/2 cups.
