Questions about Taco sauce
How is taco sauce different from taco salsa?
Taco sauce is usually smooth and pourable, while taco salsa often has a chunkier texture. Use taco sauce when you want an even coating or a smooth dip; choose salsa for pieces of tomato and other ingredients.
Can you cook with taco sauce, or should you add it at the end?
You can do both. Stir it into mince, beans or vegetables as they simmer, or spoon it over tacos just before serving; adding some at the end keeps its tangy flavour more noticeable.
What goes well with taco sauce?
Spoon it over tacos, burritos, quesadillas or baked potatoes, or serve it as a dip with tortilla crisps. It also works with rice bowls, black beans and grilled vegetables.
What can you use instead of taco sauce?
Use tomato salsa for a chunkier topping, or blend salsa briefly if you want it smoother. For a quick substitute, mix tomato passata with a little chilli, cumin and lime juice.
How should you store taco sauce after opening?
Keep an opened jar or bottle in the fridge, with the lid tightly closed, and use it within the time stated on the packaging. Avoid dipping food straight into the jar, which can introduce crumbs and shorten its keeping time.
Does taco sauce have less energy than teriyaki sauce?
