How to Make Taco Bell Mild Border Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1/4 cup of cold water until smooth.
  2. Add 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1/2 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of chili powder, 1 tablespoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 1/4 cup of white vinegar, and 1/4 cup of sugar to the saucepan. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. Cover the saucepan while cooling.
  5. Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
  6. Enjoy your homemade Taco Bell Mild Sauce copycat recipe on your favorite Mexican dishes!
