This was the first time I tried it and I was inspired when I saw it in a cooking show, the food left a very vivid memory I forgot what programme the dish was shown. There are several attributes to this dish that made me want to prepare it at home, first it looks simple, it’s quite a unique breakfast (at least for us), it’s an all in one complete dish and Mexican is one of our favourite cuisine. For this post I will not be following the original recipe and will beef it up further by adding some chorizos, including the beans into the sauce and garnishing it with feta cheese, the result is an even better version of the Huevos Rancheros. We also used crispy baked flour tortillas in replacement of corn tortillas, making it less greasy and lighter which is perfect for breakfast.
