ranchero sauce
Tomato-chili breakfast topping
Ranchero sauce is a cooked tomato sauce seasoned with chiles, onions, and garlic, essential to Mexican and Tex-Mex cooking.
It forms the base of huevos rancheros and accompanies enchiladas, burritos, and grilled meats.
The texture is typically chunky rather than smooth, with moderate heat: I smothered the eggs in ranchero sauce.
