directions

  • WHISK all ingredients together rigorously in a medium saucepan (1 cup cold water, 1/4 cup chili sauce, 2 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar, 1 tablespoon arrowroot or 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon Season-All salt, 3/8 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1/4 teaspoon granulated onion, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/8 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 pinch ground cloves, 1 pinch smoked paprika or chipotle chile powder).
  • BRING mixture to boil over high heat.
  • WHISK as needed.
  • BOIL one full minute.
  • REMOVE from heat and cool (sauce will seem hotter while warm and the spice-heat subsides after cooled).
  • WHISK sauce occasionally as it cools.
  • POUR cooled sauce into a sealable container or a squeeze bottle for convenience.
  • SERVE and enjoy with your favorite tacos, or use as a starter-base for chili.
  • REFRIGERATE any unused portion for up to 2 weeks.
  • SHAKE well before serving again.

  1. This is really close in a side by side comparison. It's a little sweet, I will try a little less chili sauce with my next batch. Don't forget to make the copy cat tacos. They are spectacular.
