Taco Sauce
Report
A simple taco sauce to serve with any type of tacos. Adds that extra bit of flavour and sauce. It rivals any jar you'll buy from the store - except you know exactly what goes in it! Great to freeze in serving size portions.

Ingredients
- 2 cups / 500ml tomato passata Note 1, or puree or 1 can (16 oz) US tomato sauce
- 3/4 cup / 185 ml water
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 cayenne pepper adjust heat to taste
- 1 1/2 tsp oregano dried
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a saucepan. Mix then simmer for 10 minutes on medium low.
- Transfer to serving bowl, cool and serve with tacos or other Mexican dishes requiring a sauce. Makes around 2.5 cups.
- Or cool, then refrigerate for up to 5 days OR freeze.
Notes
- Tomato passata is called Tomato Puree in America. It is just plain, pureed tomato. It is NOT tomato paste which is sour, concentrated tomato. It creates a thicker smoother sauce than using crushed canned tomatoes. In Australia it's available in supermarkets in the pasta section and the good value ones are cheaper than canned tomato.
- Add-ins - a can of green chilies would be terrific, as would chopped jalapeños (fresh or canned, adjust to heat). For a hit of fresh, stir in finely chopped coriander/cilantro leaves.
- Freezing - I like to freeze in serving size portions. Defrost, warm if required, give it a good mix then it's good to go!
- Nutrition. Makes 2.5 cups.
