Mexican dinner recipes are bold, colourful and ancient. Corn, beans, chillies, tomatoes, lime and avocado form the base of the table, from huevos rancheros at breakfast to slow-cooked moles and fresh salsas. It is one of the world’s great food cultures — recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Meals are built around the tortilla: a vehicle for eggs, beans, grilled meat and vegetables, with salsa and lime to brighten everything. Breakfast is a proper meal in Mexico, and huevos rancheros — eggs on tortillas with salsa — is its classic.
