Ranchero Sauce
This Mexican take on spicy tomato sauce is perfect for serving up Huevos Rancheros (fried egg on corn tortilla with this tomato sauce) or Chile Rellenos. I may even try it for a Mexican inspired pizza.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- pinch ground cinnamon
- black pepper to taste
- 2/3 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup crushed tomatoes
Directions
- Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and salt to pan. Fry, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent and edges are brown.
- Add spices and stir for a minute until fragrant.
- Deglaze pan with chicken broth.
- Add crushed tomatoes, and stir to mix.
- Bring sauce just to a boil and reduce to simmer. Simmer slowly for 30 minutes, adding more chicken broth or water as needed to maintain desired consistency.
