Ranchero Sauce
Description
This classic Mexican-style red sauce blends fire-roasted tomatoes, charred jalapeรฑos, onions, and garlic into a bold, savory condiment. Simmered down with warm cumin, Mexican oregano, and a touch of broth, it balances vibrant acidity with a smooth, subtle heat. It serves as an essential building block for huevos rancheros, enchiladas, burritos, or grilled meats.
