A classic Mexican dish, huevos rancheros, meaning 'ranch style eggs' are a classic Mexican dish. Typically eaten for breakfast, they are the perfect way to set you up for the day. Requiring very little effort, they also make a wonderful Sunday brunch for those lazy Sunday mornings.

First a spicy tomato sauce is made by blending tomatoes with chillies, garlic, onion and spices. Then, eggs are fried sunny side up and served on top of lightly toasted tortillas smothered in the sauce.

Great for all the family as the tomato sauce doesn't pack too much heat, but those who prefer a good kick of chilli can drizzle extra hot sauce over the top of the golden yolks if they want to really be woken up!

The perfect way to start any day!

Refried beans and 2 slices of bacon u see the eggs and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese on top of the eggs , with the sauce compliment this dish quite well.
