Smoky Tex-Mex Barbecue Sauce image

This is one of the best barbecue sauces I have tasted in a long time. It can be used as a marinade, a basting sauce and a dipping sauce. I used it for pork ribs but it would be good with chicken, too.

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup onion, minced

I've tried this sauce on everything from chicken to pork to tofu, and it's always a hit. It's the perfect balance of smoky, sweet, and tangy.

This sauce is a great way to add some extra flavor to your favorite dishes. I especially love it on grilled chicken and fish.

I'm not sure why, but this sauce didn't turn out well for me. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

This sauce is way too sweet for my taste. I had to add a lot of vinegar to balance it out.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really runny. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This sauce is a bit spicy for me, but I still really enjoy it. I just use a little less than the recipe calls for.

I've never been a big fan of barbecue sauce, but this one is amazing. It's not too sweet and has a really nice balance of flavors.

The smokiness of this sauce is perfect. It adds a really nice depth of flavor without being overpowering.
