I admit it, there are certain items that I really enjoy at Taco Bell. Yes, I know it's not authentic Mexican food, but when you like something, well, you overlook things like that. One thing I enjoy at TB is a warm condiment called red sauce. It is not the hot sauce that comes in a packet; it is the steaming hot red sauce that is served on their tostados and their Mexican pizza. This recipe is about as close to the original taste as you can get!!!
1 (8 ounce) can of tomato sauce1/3 cup water¼ teaspoon chili powder1½ teaspoon ground cumin1½ teaspoons dry onion flakes1 tablespoon white vinegar½ teaspoon garlic powder½ teaspoon garlic salt¼ teaspoon paprika¼ teaspoon white sugar¼ teaspoon cayenne pepperMix everything and simmer (on very low) for 15-20 minutes. Serve hot. The "spice level" is very moderate if you use it right away. It is a little spicier if you let it sit in the fridge overnight. Serve (as a hot condiment) with any Mexican food.
NOTE: I was surprised to see that there is vinegar in this sauce (you can't taste it in the final product).
