Was wondering if the sauce would be similar flavor to Hot Head Sauce. This is the served at a chain restaurant in our area called Hot Head Burritos. It is similar to Chipotle but with more options. I was looking for a copycat recipe for that and found this one so thought I would ask….
I’m not sure. I’ve never heard of that sauce. Maybe another reader can weigh in.

My husband loves the tiny “kick” of sriracha, we put it on everything.
This boom boom sauce was the perfect condiment for shrimp I brought to a holiday party. A little squeeze of lemon juice on top of the shrimp and then a dip into this fabulous sauce was heavenly!
Ooohhh this was a huge hit! I have always mixed mayo and ketchup together for my chicken and fries, but adding just a few simple spices really takes it to another (even fancier) level.
