Report

This is the best ranchero sauce recipe I have ever tasted, with a base of diced tomato, jalapeno and onion, seasoned with a mixture of chili powders and seasonings. Perfect on huevos rancheros or any Mexican or Tex Mex dish.

Instructions

Heat a large pan to medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Cook the onions and peppers down about 5 minutes to soften.
Add the garlic and cook another minute, stirring a bit.
Add the tomato and chicken broth. Stir.
Stir in the cilantro and seasonings.
Bring to a quick boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes to let the flavors develop. The sauce will thicken up for you.
Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and pour in the lime juice. I used my stick blender.
Process until nice and smooth.
Use immediately or store in the refrigerator in a covered glass container.

Notes

Makes about 3.5 cups.
