If life gives you Williams Taco Seasoning, make a Tex Mex grilling sauce. This sauce is perfect for any meat of your choice and pairs great with a margarita by the grill especially when tailgating with friends and family.

This Tex-Mex grilling sauce combines ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and Williams Taco Seasoning for a sweet, tangy, spicy barbecue sauce with Southwest flair. The taco seasoning adds cumin, chili powder, and paprika that complement grilled meats perfectly. Works as a marinade, basting sauce, or finishing glaze.
