This is a taco sauce! That's what I thought as soon as I tasted it. It has a nice rustic flavor, and all the roasted ingredients come together nicely to give it a "taco seasoning" type flavor... but these are fresh ingredients, not dry spices.
I tried the sauce on chicken tacos and beef fajitas. It's not one of those all purpose red sauces that you can use on anything. Most of those are great on tacos too. But if you want a sauce that adds the flavors that go perfectly with tacos and other Mexican food, check this sauce out.
The heat is okay. There is a little burn, but it disappears fast and what lingers is a mild heat.
Planning a taco party? Have plenty of this sauce on hand. Try adding it to your taco meat in the cooking process instead of one of those cheap packets.
