or yellow squash, diced

0.5onion

small, diced

1garlic cloves

minced

1 Tbsptaco seasoning

½ tspapple cider vinegar

optional

Instructions

Step 1

Saute the vegetables together until tender. Add spices and stir to coat. Keep cooking until liquid has cooked off. Blend together in a blender, leaving it somewhat chunky if desired. Stir in vinegar and heat over low until warm, adding salt and pepper or more seasoning to taste.

Step 2

Note: I would often add a drop of smoke or dash of smoked paprika. You can also add soy sauce (or other) instead of salt and/or hot sauce. I never tried it, but I think 1-3 tsp of tahini or almond butter and chia seeds would help with the texture.
