Copycat Taco Bell Baja Sauce
This Baja Sauce is so much better than the bottled stuff. If you're like me, always on the hunt for that perfect creamy, tangy, slightly spicy sauce to drizzle over, well, everything, then you're in the right place. Get ready to elevate your tacos, burritos, and every other dish you want a blast of flavor.
Equipment
- Food processor OR blender
- Jar
Ingredients
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- ½ Red bell pepper, seeds removed and chopped
- 1 Jalapeño, seeds removed and chopped
- ½ teaspoon Turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon Onion powder
- ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Chili powder
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Oregano
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Remove the seeds from the pepper and jalapeno and chop into smaller pieces.
- Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and blend for two to three minutes or until the sauce is smooth and creamy. To ensure that the peppers are fully mixed in, stop every 30 seconds to let the ingredients settle.
- Let the sauce cool in the refrigerator for 4 hours. As the sauce chills, it will gradually thicken.
Christina's Notes
- Use a Blender: A blender or food processor is recommended for a smooth sauce.
- Taste and Adjust: Adjust seasonings to your liking. It is great for chicken tacos or steak tacos too.
- Chill: Allow the sauce to chill for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to develop.
- Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
- Don't Over-blend: Be careful not to over-blend, as this can make the sauce too thin.
- Serve this recipe with: I love to serve this sauce with Baked Sweet Potato Fries, Baked Tortilla Chips or Steak Street Tacos.
