Taco Bell Chicken Quesadilla Sauce
My Taco Bell Chicken Quesadilla Sauce tastes just like Taco Bell's (TRUST, I'm a huge fan): it's creamy and tangy with that fun, spicy, zesty kick from pickled jalapeños! Ready in 2 minutes! This recipe makes 1 cup which is enough for 4 quesadillas or 2 quesadillas + dipping.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) sour cream
- 3 tablespoon (45 ml) pickled jalapeno juice (from the pickled jalapeños)
- 3 tablespoon (15 g) pickled jalapeños (finely minced)
- 1 small clove garlic (or 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 2 teaspoon cumin
- 2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and mix until well combined. Let sit for 10-15 minutes (if desired) for a deeper flavor.
Notes
Let the sauce sit for 10-15 minutes before serving so the flavors can bloom! You can also cover it with plastic wrap and pop it in the refrigerator if you want to let it sit more. It's a great make-ahead sauce!
Taco Bell quesadilla sauce recipe without sour cream: Try Greek yogurt or use just mayonnaise! Throughout the years, I tested this recipe with just mayonnaise, and it does work, it's just more mayo-forward flavor-wise, but still good (replace the amount of sour cream with more mayonnaise).
Taco Bell quesadilla sauce recipe without jalapeños: Skip the jalapeños and use cayenne powder instead! To recreate the tangy flavor of the brine, use vinegar.
