I remember when I was a young kid, as does my mother now in her 80's, the local county fair always had a Mexican food vendor working out of a mobile trailer. Back then there wasn't any ethnic food in the area save for when the fair came around each year. But, what I remember about the Mexican mobile vendor was they had a white (clear) taco sauce that was awesome. This was not in any way creamed or like the modern fish taco sauces, it was for illustration purposes a Pace Picante sauce but white or clear. I remember the chopped onions, but I can't imagine now how they pulled it off. It was so good. It kicked at first but then had a diminishing and pleasurable after burn. I have looked everywhere on the internet as has my secretary, unable to find anything close to what I remember. It is all creamed crap made with Miracle Whip. Any thoughts? Dan
Hello Dan,
I had zero success finding anything like your description. As you say, they all seem to be tomatoey(Is that a word?) or creamy. The type of sauce you describe probably has a name, and if we had that name, we could probably find it. But without that or more information about it, I have no ideas.
I'll post this. Maybe one of my readers can help.
