Easy Serrano Pepper Hot Sauce Recipe for Tacos

This is a really really easy hot sauce recipe with really simple ingredients, it has some heat but plenty of flavor. A serrano pepper is slightly hotter than a jalapeño, so I would describe the sauce as medium in heat, so this shouldn’t be crazy hot. You’ll need a blender, a grill or gas stove and a good pan. this sauce is mainly used for taco seasonings, you can also use it for chips, but the base of this is mainly tomato which suits it well for many different tacos and Mexican dishes.

Heres what you need to make your own sauce/hot sauce

• 1 roma tomato
• 2 red serranos peppers
• 1 clove of raw garlic
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
