1 tbsp olive oil

½ large white oniondiced

3 plum tomatoesdiced

1 jalapeno diced

1 chipotle pepper in adobo saucechopped

1 tsp minced garlicabout 2 cloves

¼ tsp coarse kosher salt

½ tsp paprika

½ tsp dried oregano

½ cup chicken stockor water

¼ cup chopped cilantro

2 tbsp lime juiceabout 1 lime

Heat olive oil in a medium skillet or pot over medium-high heat.

Add onions, tomatoes, jalapeno, chipotle pepper, garlic, salt, paprika and dried oregano. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions and peppers soften and the mixture becomes very concentrated.

Add chicken stock, stir to combine and cook for 30 more seconds.

Remove from heat and stir in cilantro and lime juice.

Using an immersion blender or regular stand blender, carefully blend the mixture until it reaches the consistency you want. A few pulses will leave the ranchero sauce slightly chunky, or you can puree it until it's completely smooth.

Taste and season with more salt if necessary. Serve immediately on top of eggs, tacos, burritos and all your favorite Mexican foods.
