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. A good ranchero sauce recipe is a must for any spicy or zesty food lover, and with this one, you’ve got yourself a GREAT recipe.

Ingredients

Lime juice
Pepper
Salt
1 tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. Mexican oregano
1 tsp. Cayenne
1 tbsp. Chipotle powder
1 tbsp. Guajillo powder
1 tbsp. Ancho powder
1/4 cup Chopped cilantro
1 cup Chicken broth
16 oz. Diced tomatoes
4 cloves Garlic, chopped
2 Jalapeno peppers, chopped
1 Medium yellow onion, chopped
1 tbsp. Olive oil

Method

01

Heat a large pan to medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Cook the onions and peppers down about 5 minutes to soften.
02

Add the garlic and cook another minute, stirring a bit. Add the tomato and chicken broth. Stir. Stir in the cilantro and seasonings.
03

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.
04

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.
05

Use immediately or store in the refrigerator in a covered glass container.
