We absolutely LOVE this sauce. It adds a certain zing to homemade quesadillas that was previously missing. I thought it was a bit too sweet but the husband thought it was perfect. I will probably use 2 teaspoons of sugar next time instead of the three teaspoons that the recipe originally called for. We like a lot of sauce on our quesadillas, and also use large tortillas when we make them, so there's no way this amount would cover sixteen quesadillas. I think that we made about twelve or fourteen though with the sauce before we used it all.
