½ cup white onion (finely chopped)
1 garlic clove
2 lbs. tomatoes
¼ tsp. Mexican oregano
2 tsp. of chicken bouillon powder
Salt and pepper to taste
½ Cup Mexican Queso Fresco (crumbled)
4 tbsp. Mexican Crema
Parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta in a large pot with 4 quarts of boiling water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook according to the package instructions until it is AL DENTE, usually about 6 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat. The pasta should not be overcooked at this point, remember that it will keep cooking in the sauce.

  • Place the tomatoes in a blender along with the garlic and onion. Process until you have a smooth sauce.

Stir in the Mexican Oregano and the Chicken Bouillon granulates. Check the seasoning to see if it needs more salt. Keep in mind that the chicken bouillon already has salt.
  • Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Keep cooking for 2 more minutes at low heat. Let the pasta absorb some of the tomato juices before serving. To serve the pasta, top it with about 1 tablespoon (per plate) of the Mexican cream and garnish it with crumbled Queso Fresco and some parsley.

MEXICAN-STYLE TOMATO SAUCE



Mexican-Style Tomato Sauce image

Categories     Sauce     Blender     Onion     Tomato     Quick & Easy     Jalapeño     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

a 35-ounce can plum tomatoes, drained
1 onion, chopped coarse
2 garlic cloves, chopped coarse
2 fresh or pickled jalapeño chilies, or to taste, seeded and minced (wear rubber gloves)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a blender purée the tomatoes with the onion, the garlic, and the chilies. In a large skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, add the tomato purée, and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your sauce. Choose ripe, in-season tomatoes that are free of blemishes.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste. If you have time, roast your tomatoes before making the sauce.
  • Use a variety of chili peppers: For a more complex flavor, use a combination of chili peppers, such as jalapeños, serranos, and habaneros. Be sure to adjust the amount of peppers you use based on your desired heat level.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sauce, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the sauce from cooking evenly and will result in a watery sauce.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the sauce for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to develop and meld together.
  • Taste the sauce as you go: Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. Be careful not to over-season the sauce.

Conclusion:

This Mexican-style tomato sauce is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes, such as tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and tamales. It is also a great dipping sauce for chips and vegetables. With its bold, flavorful taste, this sauce is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
