Mexican Ranchero Sauce




My husband and I love bean burritos covered in ranchero sauce. It's one of our favorite Mexican dishes! I experimented recently until I came up with a recipe that is delicious and my husband gave a thumbs up which means that he was so busy savoring each bite that he couldn't use his words!

You'll Need:
4 cups vegetable stock
4 Roma tomatoes
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded, finely diced
1 large onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pablano pepper, seeded, finely diced
2 tbs olive oil
4 oz tomato paste
2 tbs cornstarch or arrowroot powder

Place the tomatoes into boiling water for 15-30 seconds until skin starts to crack. Remove tomatoes from water and remove skins. Dice tomatoes. Put all ingredients except for the cornstarch into a sauce pan and simmer for 45 minutes then add the cornstarch and simmer for another 10-15 minutes until sauce has reached desired consistency.

Serve with your favorite Mexican dish and enjoy! I added links below for my recipes for homemade refried beans and also guacamole.
