- If you like your spicy sauce smooth, give it a minute in the blender on high.
- Pour this mixture into a pot and cook on low to medium heat.
- We need to simmer it until all of the water evaporates and we have a mash.
- Add distilled white vinegar to this mash and simmer for another 13 to 15 minutes to allow the vinegar to absorb.
- After the mixture has cooled, strain it into a glass jar, and the hot sauce is ready to be served.

- If you want a hot sauce that doesn’t look as chunky, mix it some more and strain it through a fine wire mesh strainer. You might also add more water and vinegar during the cooking process.
- This is my take on the recipe; adjusting the ingredients to your personal preference will be necessary.

Eggs: The mild and creamy taste and texture of eggs work remarkably well with this Taco Time Hot Sauce, particularly one with scotch bonnets or habaneros. Plus, as eggs are high in protein, they will keep you satisfied.

I used a cup of Arbol peppers per the recipe, but it is more like 25-30 (not 55-60), and it is a perfect amount of spice. I pureed the ingredients in a food processor before cooking and then once it was cooled completely I pureed again and then sifted out the seeds, so that just the pulp and liquid remained, as the texture was unpleasant straight out of the pot.
I feel like there’s something missing though…it has the same aroma as taco time sauce, but the flavor is a bit off. The vinegar is a must to get the right flavor, so don’t skip that step!
Thanks for sharing the recipe!
