Notes

  • If you don’t have a food processor, no worries! All the food processor does is finely mince the jalapeno and combine everything into a creamy sauce. Alternatively, you can just finely mince the pickled jalapeños yourself and whisk everything together in a medium bowl.
  • Scrape the sides of the food processor as needed to make sure everything is well blended. If you’re using a food processor, be sure to stop once or twice and scrape down the sides to make sure that everything is well incorporated.
  • Use this copycat Taco Bell quesadilla sauce recipe as a spread, dip, or accompaniment to your favorite meals. I like to make this sauce and keep it in the fridge to use as a tasty spread on a flatbread with spinach and crispy panko chicken for a quick lunch. It also tastes delicious on a juicy air-fried burger or as a dipping sauce for crispy baked fries or air fryer tater tots. You could even use it as a delicious salad dressing paired with my ground beef taco meat and crispy tortilla strips for an easy taco salad.
  • This sauce recipe just gets better with time so feel free to prep it up to a week in advance and let the flavors mingle in the fridge.
