Instructions

Remove stem from jalapeno and slice or dice removing the membrane and seeds. Slice or dice the onion.
Add oil to large skillet and heat over medium-high. When oil simmers, add onions and jalapeno. Saute for about 3 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and spices; cumin, oregano, garlic powder, salt and chipotle if using.
Simmer for 3-5 minutes or until tomatoes break down. Remove bay leaves.
Leave sauce chunky or remove from heat and blend with an immersion blender. Alternatively, cool and place in a blender or food processor pulsing 2-3 times or until the sauce is smooth.

Notes

The smaller the tomatoes are diced, the quicker they will break down into a sauce.
This will make 2 1/2 cups if left chunky. Blended ranchero sauce will make 2 cups.
