Description

This incredibly easy homemade taco sauce comes together in just 5 minutes and tastes just like your favorite store-bought version! Perfect for using in tacos, burritos, marinades, dips and so much more. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp agave syrup (or honey)
  • 3 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp cumin 
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp fine grain salt (plus more to taste) 

Instructions

  1. Whisk together all ingredients until smooth and no lumps remain. You can also use a blender. 
  2. Store in the refrigerator for 2 weeks or freeze for up to 6 months. Use in any recipe that calls for taco sauce!

Notes

*This recipe makes about 1 1/3 cups total volume of taco sauce. Feel free to halve if you don't think you'll use as much. If you only need enough for one recipe (about 1/4 cup), quarter the recipe. 

Refrigerator storage: store leftovers in an airtight jar or container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Stir before using.

Freezer storage: pro tip: freeze the leftovers in ice cube trays. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer-safe bag or storage container and keep frozen for up to 6 months! You can defrost in the refrigerator overnight, or you can just add it directly to whatever you're making (it will defrost quickly in the pan). So easy and convenient!
