When you order a Quesadilla from Taco Bell, do you ask for extra sauce? I do! That sauce is magically delicious. It makes the quesadilla!  Without it, it wouldn’t be the same. Well, a source claims you can make your own “copycat” sauce.

According to Mashed, they’ve discovered the best copycat sauce to match the sauce that accompanies the Taco Bell quesadilla. The source agrees that the sauce kicks up the flavor of the quesadilla “past 11,” and we couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

So who do we have to thank? Mashed shares that chef, food writer, and registered dietician Kristen Carli of “Camelback Nutrition & Wellness” is the genius behind this.

Is there a secret sauce or recipe you would like to know about? Lately, many fast food chains are sharing their recipes! Check out how to create Chipotle’s white rice, for example, HERE.
