Wow! What a find! I was looking for a copycat Taco Bell Fire Sauce clone and ran across this gem. Taco Bell green sauce isn't even available in my area so I was intrigued. I love it! It's not hot in your face like the TB Fire Sauce but it has a lovely fresh taste. I'm sure the Taco Bell sauce suffers in quality a bit in those little mass produced plastic packets but this recipe prepared fresh is just as good as any.
