A smooth and balanced sweet and spicy hot sauce recipe featuring habanero chili peppers and Ataulfo mangoes.
I have really good intentions. I mean, honest to goodness, heartfelt intentions like sharing hot sauce recipes and coconut cod tacos before May 5th. Intentions, however, do not produce results on their own and can be unraveled into nothing. Besides, to postulate that Cinco de Mayo is somehow the only day to eat tacos and hot sauce would be misguided at best. Wholly inaccurate.
Instead, I’ll offer up habanero mango hot sauce today and coconut cod fish tacos as a door prize for those of us who will be eating tacos all summer long with margaritas poured from pitchers on asphalt driveway of our neighbors’ homes.
You can adjust the heat level in this sauce easily by adding additional peppers, including the seeds in the blend, or reducing the amount of peppers to suit your tastes.
The Ataulfo mango is sweet and creamy, characteristically less stringy than its cousins. They’re in season right now through July, and their appearance en masse is a true sign of spring, which has been daring to shine a little brighter these days. My children took off for school today, knees exposed to the crisp cool air feeling confident that shorts were the right choice for the 62-degree heat wave.
This hot sauce uses carrots to provide some structure to the sauce, but the flavor profile is centered around the heat from those bright orange habaneros and the sweet from the mangoes. A bit of lime juice and vinegar help balance it out, and you’re left with a smooth sauce that begs to be drizzled over fish tacos or your favorite nacho fillings.

Shaina, this sauce is stunning! And I know one husband that would find it to die for.
4get these Ataulfo mango’s, which are tasty, n get some haitian mango’s – same shape but larger n tastier… but they seem to be available only in late spring/early summer…
My hubby would love this on everything!
This sauce is not something I would typically make, but I think you might have persuaded me…looks delicious.
Perfect choice for this mango snob who only eats Ataulfos. (What, like my snobbery is a shock?)
I love everything about this hot sauce – I am a huge mango fan and hot sauce fanatic – can’t wait to try this Shaina – sounds amazing!
I am a huge fan of sweet and hot flavors paired together. Plus, mango are on of my favorite fruits (eating one now!). So obviously this sounds incredible to me. Making for Memorial Day with out a doubt!
Ben would flip for this sauce!!! And so would I!
Use a mango hab out of Mexico, love it because of the carrots in it.. Will be trying this recipe..
Do you think this would work with jalapenos instead of habanero peppers? Our garden grew a prolific amount of jalapenos, and we still have some in the freezer to use (not to mention bags full of dried ones).
Yes it’ll work the same with jalapeños it’ll just be a different heat. You might need to add more then 4 jalapeños to get the heat even with the sweetness
Thank you, Jacob!
This just looks absolutely delicious!! This is definitely something I’m going to be trying…I love a challenge…
I love Whole Foods! Thanks for the giveaway.

I love Mangos. I think it’s a good combo the sweet and hot flavors.
Looks refreshing!
You’re right… tacos can be (and should be) eaten all year long. I did like an excuse to make margaritas, though. 🙂
This mango habanero hot sauce looks totally awesome. I still have a ton of mango in my freezer and I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with it. One plan is to do ice cream… the other is to make this.
Looks really good!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Love this site!
That sauce looks delicious and I happen to have a few mangoes sitting here!

It looks amazing but alas I have a wimpy family, so I would have to use different peppers and a lot less heat. But I’m sure the original would clear out my sinuses.
Mangos and peppers 2 of my favorite ingredients and I have to try this, it is so easy to make now I just need to get me some peppers and it’s healthy for me
Mangos are the best -excited to try this!

pedidentalasst at yahoo dot com
I will be honest, I am intrigued; I would try it, but I can’t say I’m not scared of it!
I love the combination.
MY HUSBAND LOVES MANGOS AND HOT SAUCE. SO I AM SURE HE WOULD LOVE THIS RECIPE.
I love spicy sauces!

This looks and sounds amazing. My husband loves different hot sauces and I can’t for him to try it 🙂
Looks good! Thanks for the giveaway!
This is just mango-licious!
Wow! I can already imagine what this tastes like. I need it in my life!
I tried this recipe last weekend, I did go a little overbaord on the peppers but it was still absolutely amazing.
Thankyou so much, this one will become a regular for us.
I’m glad you liked it and will be making it again! If you keep the extra-hot stuff bottled in the refrigerator, it will actually mellow with time.
I just made this and it’s officially one of the best sauces I’ve ever created! The color is beautiful and the texture is perfect. I live in Italy and I am really missing the Mexican food and ingredients I was accustomed to cooking with in the USA. This will be a great way to spice up some homemade tacos .
I blended my version of this hot sauce in a Magic Bullet until it was very smooth. I only used one habanero pepper and omitted the seeds (I just harvested a REALLY HOT batch so one was enough!) I got my hands on the only mangoes I could find (your typical big red-green South American kind) and threw in a ripe peach for good measure! I used wine vinegar instead of rice vinegar and also substituted green onions with shallots! Considering the alterations I’ve made to the recipe, it still turned out wonderfully. Thanks for the inspiration!
I’m so thrilled you were able to make it work with what you had and that you enjoyed it!
I just made a batch of this sauce, very hot but still delicious. I had to use a different type of mango, because the Ataulfo mango I had bought were really sour.
I would love to try this recipe but was wondering if I could can it in a water bath for longer shelf life.?
I just made this sauce, can’t wait for hubby to try it and let me know how it is ???? it turned out a little thick I hope he can get it out of the bottle ! I’m sure adding a little water will solve that once he uses a little. Does this have to be refrigerated or can it stay out?
Hi, Pam. yes, you can add a bit of water to help thin it out of need be, and it does need to be refrigerated because of the fruit.
To get a sauce, postpone on the p styles and blend soup sauce peanut butter and sauce.
Kickin’ Horseradish Sauce, $5.99 on Sauce Mall We have no thought why more warm sauces don’t utilize horseradish’s power.
It’s amazingly spicy o.O
I made your mango hot sauce. The end result was amazing. I used 3 scotch bonnets instead of 4 so my wife and kids could use it. I will be making this again.
I love this! I made it in 15 minutes, and its delicious!
Will make tomorrow. How about freezing in smallest mason jars to have whenever you get the urge. Cook once – enjoy for months….a little at a time. Maybe some pineapple sauce….passion fruit sauce….
how would dried habaneros work in this recipe? do you think it would be okay? many thanks, the recipe looks amazing.
Heya! Thanks for the recipe! I tried it last week and it was amaaazing. I made a few small bottles that I will share with family and friends. Super awesome! Thanks a lot again.
The directions only state to include the mango flesh, does this recipe not use the insides of the mangos?
Terrific ?ork! That i? the type of info that are s?pposed to ?e sh?red
across the net. Shame on ?oogle for now not positioning thi?
submit upper! Come on over and c?nsult with my websit?

It is absolutely the best. I just made it and added it to the staples list of our house. Thank you
hi
How much sauce is made with the recipe above? Likely canning in 8 oz jar. Planning on making a batch but only time to make 1 go at it. thanks!
E? acho que o admin deste local é verdadeiramente
trabalhando duro ?m apoio do dele site , po??ue ?qui todas
as informações é qualidade ?om base informações
.
Can you use Apple Cider Vinegar instead?
Made a lot of this last fall, awesome flavour. I put it on scrambled eggs and anything else that I wanted to add a little spicy punch to.
I’ll be making more of this but I’m gonna add a touch more heat to the recipe.
P.S. I have to make more because anyone who tried it wanted a jar to take home….lol sometimes it doesn’t pay to share.. I ran out of this in no time.
Thank you for such a delicious recipe. I generally don’t care for the taste of habeñero, but when you combine them with mango they come alive.
I feel this is among the most important information for me.
And i am happy studying your article. However wanna observation on few
basic things, The site style is perfect, the articles is in reality nice : D.
