Huevos Rancheros

Chef Patrick Ryan from the Firehouse Bakery in Delgany does his take on Huevos Rancheros


This is Patrick's take on the classic Mexican breakfast Huevos rancheros.  Toasted sourdough bread spread with refried beans, topped with tomato, chilli and chorizo sauce served with a fried egg, diced avocado, fresh coriander, sour cream and lime. This is the prefect weekend breakfast, ideal to serve when you have a few mates round or if your trying to shake off a hangover from the night before.

Tomato, chilli and chorizo sauce

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Bunch of fresh coriander, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to season
