About Ranchero sauce

Ranchero sauce is a flavorful, tomato-based sauce commonly featured in Mexican cuisine. Its origins trace back to traditional ranch-style cooking, where fresh, robust ingredients were used to enhance meals. The sauce typically includes a blend of crushed tomatoes, onions, garlic, chili peppers, and spices like cumin and oregano. Additional ingredients such as jalapeños or bell peppers may be added for extra depth and spice. Ranchero sauce is often served warm over dishes like huevos rancheros, enchiladas, or grilled meats. Nutritionally, it’s a relatively low-calorie option and provides vitamins A and C from tomatoes and peppers. Its simple, vegetable-rich profile makes it a heart-healthy choice, though sodium content can be high depending on preparation methods. Opting for a homemade version with fresh ingredients and reduced salt allows for a healthier alternative to store-bought varieties.
