- Customize Your Spice Level: If you like it spicy, feel free to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or increase the chili powder to suit your taste.
- Chill for Flavor: Allowing the sauce to chill for at least 15-30 minutes enhances the flavors. It’s worth the wait!
- Perfect Pairing: This sauce isn’t just for fish tacos; try it on grilled chicken or as a dip for veggies to elevate any meal.
