How to Make Simple Sauce for Breakfast Burritos


Mix Everything Together

Add the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, lime juice, and taco seasoning to a bowl. Use a whisk or fork to combine.

You should be left with a smooth and creamy sauce.

Tailor it to Your Taste

Taste the sauce to see if you want to add any extra lime juice or seasoning. If you want a little extra heat, you can add cayenne pepper.

The biggest plus to making homemade sauce is the ability to tailor it exactly to your taste, so take advantage!

Thin it Out

You may find the sauce to be a little too thick for your liking. If that’s the case, you can easily thin it out with some fresh water.

Add just a dash at a time, while whisking, until you are happy with the consistency.

Serving Your Breakfast Sauce

This sauce was created specifically to pair with breakfast burritos, but that doesn’t mean it’s not delicious with other things!

It’s also super tasty over a breakfast bowl like this Savory Quinoa Breakfast Bowl with Veggies and simply drizzle over a plate of soft scrambled eggs.

How to Properly Store Homemade Burrito Sauce

This sauce lasts for 1-2 weeks in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s best served cold or at room temperature.

I don’t recommend freezing this sauce.
