TACO BELL WILD SAUCE



Taco Bell Wild Sauce image

Remember the 'wild sauce' that Taco Bell used to have back in the 90's? It was spicy hot and intensely flavorful.. I was disappointed when they discontinued it, and have tried many attempts at reproducing it - and I think I've got it close, here.. I do believe this tastes as good as I remembered .. Use of Tabasco is key, so no substitutes - it just won't be the same..

I was trying to make a bar cheese from this disappointing cheese spread i purchased and in the process made a cheese sauce that tastes, looks, and feels just like Taco Bells Cheese Sauce that they use on their nachos. I hope you enjoy!

Time 3m

Yield 1 cup, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup rondele sharp cheddar pub cheese
1/2 cup cream cheese (I used fat free)
1 tablespoon butter
6 drops Worcestershire sauce

  • Stir in the worcestershire and hot sauce.
  • Microwave for 20-30 seconds more until hot and melted.

Tips for Making the Best Taco Bell Taco Sauce:

- Use ripe tomatoes: The fresher the tomatoes, the better the sauce will taste. - Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives the sauce a smoky depth of flavor. - Use a variety of chili peppers: The combination of different chili peppers gives the sauce a complex and nuanced flavor. - Don't be afraid to experiment: Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your own taste. For example, you could add more or less chili peppers, or you could use a different type of vinegar. - Let the sauce simmer: Simmering the sauce for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop. - Store the sauce properly: The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
