Even if it isn’t Tuesday as you’re reading this, save this recipe in your memory bank as it is so easy to make, plus it’ll save you buying an unnecessary ingredient come taco night. I am all about saving money when it comes to groceries, so I’ve learnt to make my own taco sauce, mayonnaise, and taco seasoning which saves me around $10+ when preparing just one meal for my family of 5 for the week.
