This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Use this homemade taco sauce along with your favorite taco ingredients. If you like a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer. Feel free to adjust the heat level with more or less cayenne pepper, chili powder, and jalapenos.

1 can (6 ounce size) tomato paste
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 1/2 tablespoon chili powder, or to taste
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
2 tablespoons very finely minced canned jalapeno slices (more if you want a hotter sauce
3 cups water
Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the tomato paste, cayenne, chili powder, salt, cornstarch, vinegar, onion flakes, and jalapenos. Stir well until thoroughly mixed.
Slowly stir in the water. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Let the sauce cool, then transfer it to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Not bad! First attempt at homemade taco sauce and I think it turned out decent.
