How to Make Tex Mex Hot Sauce

  1. Finely chop the jalapeños, removing seeds for less heat or leaving them in for maximum fire.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped jalapeños, roasted red peppers, garlic, onion, vinegar, lime juice, cumin, oregano, and salt.
  3. Blend until completely smooth. For a chunkier sauce, pulse a few times instead of blending continuously.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more jalapeños for extra heat, or more lime juice for acidity.
  5. Transfer the hot sauce to a clean jar or container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. This will also help mellow the heat slightly.
  6. Enjoy your homemade Tex-Mex hot sauce! It will keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
