Copycat Torchy’s Diablo Sauce
If you’re a fan of Torchy’s Tacos, you already know about their infamous Diablo Sauce—that deep red, smoky, spicy goodness that adds the perfect kick to everything it touches. This is my homemade version and I must say, it’s a very close replica to the original.
This Copycat Torchy’s Diablo Sauce is habaneros, onion, garlic and tomato sauce, and a little vinegar to balance the heat. It’s perfect for drizzling it on my Copycat Brushfire tacos, stirring it into mayo for a spicy spread, adding to some quest.
It keeps in the fridge for about a week–I keep a small container in my freezer because we use it in such small amounts.
Give it a try and let me know if your family can handle the heat—or if they’re reaching for the milk like mine was.
