Key to making the perfect Taco Bell sauce are chipotle peppers in adobo. These smoky peppers give it its signature smoky flavor and heat level that you can adjust accordingly, with additional depth provided by paprika, onion powder, paprika grits and white vinegar adding depth of flavor while providing that sharp tang that we all crave!

This sauce can be enjoyed on tacos, burritos, fajitas or anything else you desire – from nachos and sweet potato fries to tacos! Allowing time for it to sit after making is ideal as its flavors will develop and come together more seamlessly; plus it keeps fresh for weeks in your refrigerator!

Storage

Though you can store this Taco Bell Chipotle sauce recipe in a can, ideally an airtight jar would be best to protect from contaminants and prevent spoilage – mason jars make great solutions here!

While your meal is cooking, be sure to taste it occasionally to ensure that it meets your ideal flavor profile. If it needs more heat or balance, add cayenne or chili powder; otherwise add vinegar as needed for more balance.

Once your sauce has cooled, transfer it to an airtight container or squeeze bottle for storage in the fridge, which should keep it fresh for several weeks. Use it to enhance salads or as a dip for sweet potato fries, grilled corn and cheese chicken quesadillas – its spicy chipotle flavor will add an exciting new dimension to favorite meals! *Percent Daily Value calculations based on a 2,000 calorie diet.
