Copycat Taco Bell Quesadilla Sauce {5 Minutes!}

This Copycat Taco Bell quesadilla sauce tastes exactly like the original and is creamy and spicy. You can also drizzle it over nachos or tacos! You can create this sauce at home in a matter of minutes using a few basic items to get the flavor of Taco Bell. This is so quick and simple—just five minutes—that you'll find yourself making it repeatedly!

Ingredients

Only a few simple items are needed to make this Taco Bell creamy jalapeño sauce. It complements a wide variety of foods with its somewhat spicy and tangy flavor.

• Sour cream - half of the creamy sauce's base. You can use light sour cream or full fat. You can use plain Greek yogurt instead.
• Mayonnaise - Use homemade mayo or your preferred mayonnaise. You can use only sour cream if you don't like mayo, but the sauce won't have the same rich flavor or thickness.
• Pickled jalapeno peppers - The sauce's distinctive flavor comes from this unidentified ingredient. Both the pickled jalapenos and the jar's juice will be used in this recipe. To make eating the jalapenos simpler, you should chop them up fairly tiny. Depending on your preferred level of spice, you can change the amount utilized. ***If you like a smooth sauce, feel free to omit the sliced pickled jalapenos.
• Paprika + ground cumin + garlic and onion powder + chili powder - You'll need paprika, cumin, and garlic powder. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper if you prefer your dish hot.
• Sugar - The sauce's rich tastes are well balanced by just ½ teaspoon.
• Salt & Black pepper - to enhance each and every flavor in the sauce. I use ½ teaspoon, but you can taste the sauce once it's prepared and adjust the amount to your preference.

How to make Taco Bell Quesadilla Sauce

1. In a blender, combine all the ingredients.

2. Blend until it's smooth.

3. Until you're ready to use it, cover and refrigerate for at least two hours. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 10 days in an airtight container.

Expert Tips

• Additionally, the sauce will taste better after a little time in the refrigerator for the flavors to meld.
• All of the ingredients for the sauce can be put in a food processor, mixed, and finished.
• Add ½ teaspoon (or more) cayenne pepper to this sauce to make it spicy.
• Since the consistency will change after freezing and thawing, I do not advise freezing the sauce.
• Add another teaspoon of the jalapeño juice if you want the sauce to be thinner. Additionally, you can omit the chopped pickled jalapenos.

What Else Can You Use Copycat Taco Bell Quesadilla Sauce for?

This sauce tastes well with a variety of other Mexican foods, but it's especially good with handmade quesadillas! Some of our favorites are as follows:

• Burgers: Top a burger with your other favorite toppings, such as cheddar, avocado, and fresh jalapenos, and use it as place of mayo.
• Mexican dishes: Additional Mexican dishes include Air Fryer Taquitos, Mexican Pizza (a knockoff of Taco Bell), and Chicken Fajitas.
• Chip dip: To be honest, though, I believe that chip dip is my favorite application of all. Never have tortilla chips tasted better! I enjoy serving a range of dips alongside chips, particularly for a spread on game day. This sauce is perfect on nachos and goes well with guacamole and salsa!
• Nachos: Add cheese and all of your preferred toppings to the nachos.
• Use this sauce as the dressing for a taco salad: Far superior to anything found in a bottle!
• Chicken sandwich: Use it as a spread on sandwiches made with chicken.
• French Fries: This can be used as a tasty onion ring dip or French fry.
