Zubereitung von Light Mexican Tomato Sauce Caldillo De Jitomate

  1. Add 1 lb ripe tomatoes, 1/2 medium onion (chopped), and 2-3 chiles (serrano, jalapeño, or your choice, adjust to your spice preference), to a small saucepan.
  2. Add enough water to almost cover the tomatoes (about 1 cup).
  3. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened.
  4. Carefully transfer the cooked mixture to a blender. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt (or to taste) and about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Blend until smooth, adjusting the liquid for your desired consistency.
  5. (Optional) Stir in 1 teaspoon of chicken bouillon powder for extra depth of flavor.
  6. (Optional) Add 1 clove garlic, minced, for an extra layer of flavor.

  8. For chilaquiles: you can fry the sauce separately in 1 teaspoon of oil for extra crispiness, or add it directly to the pan with the fried tortillas.
  9. Garnish with fresh cilantro or oregano for an extra burst of flavor.
