I never thought I'd be posting any recipe related to tacos! Never a fan of hot and spicy foods, tacos just didn't appeal to me. When my boys were growing up, I used to buy a box of, think it was Old El Paso brand, taco mix. They loved it. I didn't! That was my idea of what tacos were like.
More recently, I liked the idea that you can be creative and tacos don't have to always be the same ingredients. I can assure you my homemade tacos do not involve a store bought packet of "sauce." No, I have learned to make homemade tortillas and am experimenting with dozens of different ingredients!
For certain types of tacos, this sauce goes well.
1 (16 oz) can tomato sauce
2/3 cup water
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
