In Texas we call the yummy dip served with tortilla chips in all Mexican restaurants HOT SAUCE! In Colorado it is called SALSA! This Dodo LOVES HOT SAUCE! Usually I make my own as I am pretty picky about my HOT SAUCE! Starting at a very young age, 6 years old to be exact, my mom would pack HOT SAUCE in my metal Scooby Doo lunchbox!
I remember very vividly sitting at the cafeteria table dipping my Fritos into my HOT SAUCE! Of course every single child at my table was super curious and wanted a taste!
One can only imagine the GERMS we shared as one by one each child would take a turn at dipping whatever kind of chip or finger into my small little Tupperware container of HOT SAUCE. YUM! News spread fast! I became very popular! I'm sure I felt pretty good about my new fame and notoriety as I marched through the halls of Hobby Elementary
with my crooked bangs and knobby knees!
Dodo aka "Holli Hot Sauce"
I can just hear the chatter in the hall! "Hey Holli! Did you bring your hot sauce today?" "You betcha!" was Holli's perky reply. Then a loud cheer and a sudden commotion as children argue about who gets to sit at "Holli Hot Sauce's" table today! WOW! I owe it all to HOT SAUCE!
So I am going to bestow upon you all a very easy HOT SAUCE recipe! I have many HOT SAUCE recipes but here is the easiest one from my recipe box. You will need this.
This is a "cheater" recipe! So let's name it......Cheater HOT SAUCE
In a blender put 1 clove of garlic, 1 cup of packed cilantro, 1/8 tsp of red wine vinegar (basically a few drops), dash of salt, pepper, cumin and the juice from 1 can of Rotel. Blend on high about 20 seconds. Add the remaining can of Rotel to the blender and blend another 20 seconds. Do not blend too long or it will become foamy! There you go! Easy Peasy 40 Second Cheater Hot Sauce!
This is great on eggs, tacos, quesadillas, you name it! Store in the refrigerator for
up to 5 days. I double dare you to put it in your child's lunchbox!
