A recipe for a sauce that tastes like Taco Bell Red Sauce. This is not the sauce in the packets, it is the sauce in the Bean Burritos and that used to be on the Enchirito and Smothered Burritos when they had those.
2 1/4 cup water (divided)
2 Tbsp corn starch
1 Tbsp paprika
1 Tbsp chili powder
2 Tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp lime juice
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp sugar
- Bring all ingredients except 1/4 cup water and corn starch to a boil in a saucepan.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Mix 1/4 cup water and corn starch.
- Add corn starch water to the pan, bring back to a simmer, and simmer for another minute or two whisking frequently.
This recipe is a work in progress. I think it tastes pretty close to Taco Bell's Red Sauce but it still needs improvement.
