Dubbed "Taco Shop Style Hot Sauce". This sauce is loaded with flavor. Has an Italian quality to it. It's tomato (and tomatillo) based, and the oregano really comes through. Every time I try this sauce I picture it with ravioli. But I'm not discounting the distinct "Taco Shop" flavors that are also present. You don't find cumin and lime in pasta sauce. This sauce has a nice creamy texture, similar to... yes... a marinara. I think the canola oil is what helps create this texture. This is definitely not one of those thin vinegary taco sauces, in fact, the vinegar is way in the background. It has a great burn... a burn that lingers along with the flavors of the spices. It's great on burritos and fajitas. I'm tempted to try it with ravioli, or on garlic bread. Mmmmm, getting hungry.
