Taco Bell Quesadillas...Almost.

This is a recipe for quesadilla sauce that is very, very similar to Taco Bell's. I don't buy their quesadillas anymore, because well, I feel I can make something just as good at home!  The sauce is also very good as a sandwich spread. I like it with turkey and cheese.  I hope you enjoy this!  If you try it, and change it up a bit, I'd like to hear about your results, and what you did differently.

Step 1 Ingredients and Equipment

Ingredients for the sauce:

1/4 Cup Sour Cream
1/4 Cup Mayonnaise (Not Miracle Whip)
4 Teaspoons Bottled Jalapeno Juice (from the sliced, jarred jalapenos)
1 Teaspoon Sugar
1 Teaspoon Cumin
1 Teaspoon Chili Powder
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (more if you like it hot, you can always add more later)
1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
Dash of Salt


For the quesadillas:

Tortillas
Sauce (the stuff you just made)
Cheese (anything you like)
Meat (Beef, chicken, or you can leave the meat out for just a plain cheese quesadilla)
Any veggies you would like to add, onions, peppers, tomatoes.

Equipment needed:

Measuring spoons
Measuring cup (1/4 cup should be all you need)
Small to medium sized mixing bowl
Whisk

Quesadilla maker, oven, microwave, skillet or anything you like to make your quesadillas in.
I received a quesadilla maker as a Christmas gift, so that's what I am using.

I have tonnes of quesadillas, but always just use cheddar and black pepper/chillis.  'sauce' seems like a good idea.
