Taco Bell Fire Border Sauce recipe
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed and Follow me on Twitter Thanks for visiting!
For years Taco Bell customers had only the “mild” and “hot”
varieties of free taco sauce blister packs to choose from
to add a bit of zing to their fistful of tacos. That is, until
a recent addition to the hot sauce selection kicked the
heat-o-meter up a few notches. While true hot sauce freaks
might find this sauce still on the mild side when compared
with the glut of habanero-based sauces on the market today,
it’s definitely a recipe that improves on the Mexican fast-food
chain’s original formulas if you’re one of the many who get a
rush from a good tastebud tingle.
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
3 cups water
3 tablespoons vinegar
3 tablespoons finely minced canned jalapeno slices
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
dash garlic powder
1. Combine the tomato paste with the water in a medium saucepan
and whisk until smooth.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until combined.
3. Heat mixture over medium high heat until it begins to boil.
Continue to cook for about 3 minutes, stirring often. Remove from
heat.
4. When sauce has cooled, poured it into a sealed container and
refrigerate.
Makes 3 cups.

I live in Conyers Georgia, 30 miles East of Atlanta.
I have been looking for the (BORDER SAUCE FIRE) from TACO BELL, I have tried many sauces, but never find what I am looking for. nothing compares with THE FIRE of TACO BELL. could you kindly let me know if this (BORDER SAUCE FIRE) is available in food markets?? Sincerely– Gisele Person
This is a very good recipe. But I found it lacked the dark smokiness of the Fire Sauce.
I had no idea what to add but ended up trying a few sprinkles of “Grill Mates Mesquite” spice. (About 1/8 teaspoon)
It really gave it the added smokiness I thought it needed.
