Spicy Taco Sauce

This is about to become your go to sauce for everything!

Tacos, burritos, crunchwraps or even salads! I hope you LOVE this creamy, spicy sauce. This is a zingy, herby addition I am confident it will not disappoint!

It’s super quick and easy to make and is FULL of flavour, which means a little goes a long way. It can be blitzed up and kept in the fridge for up to 2 weeks in a sealed container. Which will be perfect for packed lunches.
Also, you can pair this with almost any dish. My favourites are our shrimp tacos or crunchwraps.

You can use any ranch/sour cream as the base and you can use any standard kind you can find in supermarkets to make it easier. I will say Pizza express house dressing is an ideal base. You can find it in most supermarkets; the whole bottle is 1 cup, which means no measuring!

  • 1 tbsp sriracha

  • 2 tsp caster sugar

  • 1 tsp black and red pepper

  • 2 tsp cumin

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp oregano

  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt

Directions

  • Combine the ranch, pickled jalapeños and sriracha together in a food processor or blender until slightly chunky.
  • Add sugar, black and red pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, garlic salt, onion salt and cocoa powder and blitz until smooth and creamy.

Notes

  • This can stay in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-4 weeks!

You get a little fire from the cayenne pepper, a spicy tang from the pickled jalapenos, and a hint of sweetness from the sugar, combined with the rest of the ingredients. A well-balanced, super-flavoursome sauce that can liven up any dish!
