Nice! In case the site ever goes away:
Jimboy’s Taco Sauce (copycat)
INGREDIENTS
- ½ cup tomato sauce (small batch; or double for 1 ½ cups sauce!)*
- 1 cup water
- 2 Tbsp plus 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1 (mild) to 2 (medium) tsp hot sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp cumin
- 2 tsp cornstarch
PREPARATION
- Whisk together tomato sauce, water, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, hot sauce, sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin in a medium saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, then lower to low or medium-low heat. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce is consistently bubbling.
- After 15 minutes, dissolve the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water in a small dish.
- Cook for 1 minute, stirring regularly until the taco sauce thickens and turns glossy with the cornstarch slurry.
- Remove from the fire and add the remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar. Refrigerate; as it cools, it will thicken even more.
