I will be doing them each week in order of heat...thanks for watching and stay safe

[@Mj-nd6wt]

Okay I am obsessed with Taco Bell mild sauce so I definitely want to try this recipe but you never mentioned what type of vinegar you added. It looks like apple cider but it could also be a different one as well so I want to make sure I'm making it proper

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

apple cider vinegar is good, but white distilled works as well. Thanks for watching

[@elemental4711]

Thank you! I just found your channel a few days ago and made this tonight. Excellent! Thank you for sharing your recipes and expertise. I am old enough to identify with "groovy" so I hear you!

[@lilikerven3840]

Thank you Chef Politte!

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

You bet! Thanks for watching!

[@jaymoto8743]

Thanks John. I made my first batch 4 months ago. I used a small skinny hot sauce glass bottle that I thoroughly cleaned and filled it up for every day use. The vast majority I put in a glass jar and storage in refrigerator. Every time the small bottle is empty, I thoroughly wash and, microwave to sterilize, and refill from glass jar. My 8yo daughter loves Taco bell. We started off with bean burritos, then started making Mexican pizza, then enchiladas, and a month ago made Chalupas. The chalupas were spot on from youtube recipe. Small batch makes 8 large chalupas.

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Excellent, glad you enjoyed the sauce. Have a great rest of your week!

[@gregbuchanan1130]

How long does the sauce last after you make it?

[@crystaljones1998]

Thanks! I had to add ten drops of stevia, but other than that, the family liked it! Thank you!

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

That's great!

[@richmeier]

I almost have this recipe memorized but always end up back to your video because I always only have 12oz cans of tomato paste on hand so I double it!

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Thanks for tuning in, have a great weekend!!

[@azguyazdesert417]

Great recipe it looks so simple. I only have one question? How do you get it into the little platic ketchup packets so you can squeeze onto your taco??

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Good one, thanks for watching

[@azguyazdesert417]

I couldn't resist. I make a tacco sauce similar but from scratch. It isn't a commercial copy, more of an authentic family recipe. Really simple, you just clean, and trim a roma tomato, dried chilli peppers, a fresh siriano chili pepper or two, yellow onion, and couple of garlic cloves, and a whole bay leaf, sometimes a beef bouillon cube for extra flavor, or enchilada sauce. Boil in a small sause pan until the raw vegetables are tender. Then throw it all in a blender until smooth. Then just add salt, pepper, to taste. If it's too spicy hot, add a dash of vinegar or sugar to tone it down. If you added a beef bouillon for flavor, and you want to convert it to an enchilada sauce just add a little white flour, or corn starch to thicken it. I typically don't measure anything, I know how much of what to add for my taste, and every batch is a little bit different. I keep it in the fridge, in old washed out jelly jars, and it lasts forever all the spices preserve it so long as it's kept in the fridge. It goes well with any Mexican food dish.

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

@@azguyazdesert417 Sounds delicious...Thanks for sharing

Diablo sauce next.

[@JasonBolte]

Hank Hill that sounds good!

[@omartravilla8818]

Can I use the taco bell seasoning for the sauce?

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

I didn't know they made a Taco Bell seasoning

[@imanassole9421]

Mild sauce for whatever reason tastes the best of their sauces. The others are just hot pepper sauce. The mild has an actual flavor profile. No, I'm not scared of spicy. Diablo sauce is child's play to me. Just flavor wise.. it's the best of their sauces. To the point where IF I buy on the shelf Tacobell Mild.. which is close.. but does NOT taste the same! Maybe it's the packet plastic.. idk.. but it's not. I add Tapatio to give it a bit more kick. Also, for those who are lazy, Old Elpaso enchilada sauce will get you most of the way there.

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

ok

[@truepeacenik]

Mixing mild with the heat level you like is my trick.

[@gregnewberry4813]

Thank you! What type of vinegar? Apple, white, rice wine, ..... ?? Thanks

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

I use apple cider, but can use white distilled as well. Thanks for watching

[@stephaniecollins6052]

I dont have paste; can i use tomato sauce with less water?

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

or use ketchup

[@gigiscreations]

Making this today always looking for ways to save money

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Perfect! have a great weekend and thanks for watching!

[@maremacd]

I’m comfortable with the heat level of the TB mild sauce, but a teaspoon of cayenne sounds like a lot of heat. Is the heat level accurate with this recipe? I always end up using too much cayenne for my taste. Maybe I’ll just cut it to a half teaspoon.

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

That's the measurement for the recipe..thanks for watching

[@DanGonzalesDenver]

I totally agree, 1 tsp cayenne yields a finished product much hotter than taco bell mild. I had a bottle of the real taco bell stuff on hand for a direct comparison. Every recipe online makes the same 1tsp error.

[@GiveMeYoSammich]

I prefer the packets of mild sauce you get from taco bell itself, i find the store version just doesn't taste the same because i tried both on my dinner from tacobell and the packets in my opinion are just better, does this taste more like the packets or store version?

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

taste like the packets

[@rokokalafatic3112]

Awesome recipe! Any advice on how I can bottle and preserve this very sauce? Thanks :)

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Thanks for watching, I have no idea how to preserve it, but I do bottle mine and it doesn't last long. Have a great day

[@Cretaal]

I know I'm late. But you'll want to seal with heat by putting filled bottles in boiling water to heat them up until sterile, then take them out and cap to seal them. Sodium Benzoate is the preservative used in the commercial sauce if you want shelf life. I don't know how much.

[@Cretaal]

If you want to preserve it the natural way, look up fermenting peppers for hot sauce.

[@kdub1666]

The flavor is close but not quite there. Taco Bell's mild sauce packet lists dextrose and sugar so maybe that's the difference? Funny most youtube videos have the same recipe. I haven't found a recipe with sugar yet.

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Most of the sugar needed is in the tomato paste. Thanks for watching

[@LibertyDIY]

@@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood Trader Joe's organic taco sauce is amazing and doesnt use sugar either.

[@LibertyDIY]

Oh nevermind it says organic cultured dextrose

[@dn3497]

Made this. Recipe is good but needs 1-2 tsp of sugar (which is an ingredient on their packet). And less cayenne for us. Thank you for recipe.

[@SawzawOrSomething]

What kind of vinegar? It doesnt look like white vinegar, that's why I ask

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

I used apple cider vinegar. Thanks for watching!

[@julesmbc]

Oí chef, can you use tomato puree instead of paste

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

you most certainly can. Thanks for watching

[@randomzone5832]

This is easy but it’s even easier to mix salsa Valentina and ketchup and it tastes exactly the same as mild sauce

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

From the video are you using apple cider vinegar?

I believe I am. Thanks for watching!

[@thomashurley7554]

could you put this in pints and can it??????

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

I don't know about that, I know if you cool it properly and put it in a bottle it should last a while. Thanks for watching

[@johnsheetz6639]

Basically enchilada sauce

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Good call! Thanks for watching!

[@yvonnebnv]

One teaspoon of cayennne for mild sauce? You sure about that? ;)

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Yes, the vinegar and the chili powder added to the simmering bring out the heat as well, remember it's the mild sauce

[@GigglyGirlPearl]

I had to make a 2nd batch without vinegar to combine it with the first batch in order to offset the over the top vinegar taste. Three tablespoons (are you sure about 3?) of vinegar was way too vinegary for me. It smelled perfect though.

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Thanks for watching

[@husseinandout3867]

There's definitely less tomato paste and more chili pepper paste and something very sour and spicy in the original sauce that's not a natural ingredient, but a chemical of some sort. I tried many ways to make an accurate copycat myself, but couldn't even get close. It's either the MSG, xanthan gum or some other sht we definitely couldn't buy on the market that's making this sauce delicious and addictive. Some fast food items you just can't make at home, you have to go and buy it from their stores or the supermarket.

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

A lot of the additives they add are for preservation, stabilization and color, but I understand what you are saying, Thanks for watching

[@matthewstewart3133]

I feel the same way! I've been trying for 2 days now and nothing is close. All the youtube videos seem to be to tomato tasting without that missing ingredient.

[@Oddigan]

Xanthan Gum and MSG are most certainly on the market; at least in the USA. You've been able to find them in most convenience stores and supermarkets for years.

[@SaneTheBro]

You are so right. I can't believe that anyone is giving this 'rave reviews' lol People need their tastebuds checked. And it's WAY too salty. It's awful and I'm so disappointed. I had hoped I found a go-to recipe but not a chance. Sorry Chef John! (btw, are you the same guy from TopSecretsRecipes or did you steal this recipe from there? Lol
