Ingredients
- 8 oz Tomato sauce
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tbsp White vinegar
- 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato sauce and water. Stir until well blended.
Add the white vinegar and granulated sugar, and stir to dissolve the sugar completely.
Mix in the paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to combine all the spices evenly.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
Transfer the sauce to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the taco sauce chilled or slightly warmed over tacos, burritos, nachos, or as a dipping sauce.
