Mary's Mexican Ranchero Salsa

This is my favorite salsa. I got the recipe from my mother who has been making it since she was a young girl living with her grandparents on their ranch in Mexico. You can adjust the hotness according to your preference. Serve it over scrambled eggs or on anything you like.
