Make This: Amazing Huevos Rancheros RecipeBy Loriley Sessions

There’s becoming a common theme with the food I cook; look good for minimum effort. Huevos Rancheros is a dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner, appearing pretty complicated, but in fact couldn’t be simpler.

Avocados have become a little obsession of mine of late. I used to really dislike them, then all of a sudden – BAM – I can’t get enough of the stuff. They just go with absolutely everything, am I right? A staple ingredient that can be used as part of any meal of the day or even a snack, avocados are becoming my new BFF.

Made in under 20 minutes, this colourful Mexican creation screams complex, but little will your guests know just how easy it is to throw together. While it bubbles away on the hob, cook up some brown rice as the perfect accompaniment.
