Instructions
 

Instructions for the Hot Sauce:

  • Prepare the peppers: if you prefer a milder sauce, remove the seeds and white membranes from the peppers. Otherwise, leave them for more heat. Finely chop the peppers.
  • Heat the oil: in a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the peppers and tomato: add the chopped peppers and diced tomato to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.
  • Add the liquids and seasonings: add the white vinegar, lime juice, sugar, salt, and water. Mix well and let simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.
  • Blend the sauce: remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly. Pour the mixture into a blender and blend until smooth. Add more water if the sauce is too thick.
  • Adjust the seasoning: taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt, sugar, or vinegar if needed. Add fresh chopped cilantro if desired.
  • Serve: transfer the sauce to a bowl or jar and let it cool completely before serving. This sauce keeps well in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Instructions for the Tacos:

    Prepare the mango and avocado salsa:

    • In a large bowl, mix the diced mango, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and finely chopped pepper (jalapeño or substitute).
    • Add the lime juice, olive oil, and chopped fresh cilantro. Gently mix to avoid mashing the avocado.
    • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Heat the tortillas:

    • Heat the corn tortillas in a hot skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and slightly browned.
    • You can also warm them in the microwave or wrap them in aluminum foil and place them in the oven.

    Assemble the tacos:

    • Place the warm corn tortillas on a plate.
    • Distribute the mango and avocado salsa in the center of each tortilla.
    • Add optional garnishes to your liking, such as lettuce leaves, vegan sour cream, hot sauce, radish slices, and lime wedges.
    • Fold each tortilla in half to form an open taco.
    • Serve the tacos immediately, garnished with extra fresh cilantro if desired, and accompanied by lime wedges to add a touch of freshness.
