This Amazing Ranchero Sauce recipe is just that…amazing. Smokey, with a bit of a kick, this ranchero sauce is the real deal.
And you will be amazed at how easy it is to make the super flavorful sauce!
This incredible sauce has as much flavor as it does generations and generations of history!
Watch us show you how easy it is to make this amazing Ranchero Sauce and how we use it to make Heavenly Huevos Rancheros!
The ingredients in this sauce are bold and just delicious.
We love making ranchero sauce from scratch.
And it’s so easy!
And the best part of this sauce, we think, is the chipotle pepper and its incredibly smoky adobo sauce.
If you like it really hot, go with two chipotle peppers. If you want to reduce the heat, try and scrape out the seeds.
But you gotta use the sauce. It’s so good!
We LOVE to add this to our favorite dishes, especially brunch dishes, anywhere from huevos rancheros, to migas, to hash browns, to even the perfect topping for your favorite burger.
We make a pretty killer Restaurant-Quality Salsa, too! (click the link for the full recipe).
Now, go forth and make some Amazing Ranchero Sauce!
