Poquito Picante Hot Sauce by Boca de Fogo

I am so happy that I finally nailed an everyday SoCal taco shop red hot sauce! For a while I've been trying different things to get that taste that I grew up with in Southern California's taco shops and I just seem to miss something every time. But not this time! This is a medium red sauce so everyone should be able to handle the heat level and it has a very unique, almost sweet taste mixing habanero and serrano peppers. I hope you enjoy!

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

In a blender, add tomatoes, onion, peppers, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice and blend until fairly smooth.

* Step 2

Heat olive oil in a medium pot on medium heat. Add the salsa mixture slowly as not to spatter. Add cumin and maybe 1/2 tsp sea salt or to your taste.

* Step 3

At medium-high heat, bring to a boil. Reduce to low and simmer 15 mins.

* Step 4

Remove from heat and let cool for about 15 mins. Taste and add salt if necessary.

* Step 5

Pour into air-tight container or squeeze bottle (just like in the taco shops!) and refrigerate until cold and has had a chance for the flavor to develop.
