MEXICAN SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Whisk eggs together in a bowl. Mix in onion, milk, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, chile powder, onion powder, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; grease with cooking spray. Pour in egg mixture; cook and stir until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.

MEXICAN-STYLE BEANS AND EGGS

Steps:

• In a blender, finely puree the tomatoes, stock, onion, garlic, chile and cumin until smooth.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan set over medium-high heat. Once hot, pour contents of the blender into the pan and season lightly with salt. Simmer until the sauce reduces by half, about 3 minutes. Stir the beans and their liquid into sauce. Cook until the sauce simmers and thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
• Crack the eggs into pan, leaving enough space between each egg so they do not touch the sides of the pan or each other. Reduce the heat to medium-low, so the sauce barely simmers, and cover pan. Continue to gently cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 4 more minutes. Serve with the garnishes of your choosing.

MEXICAN EGGS

Steps:

• In a 10-inch frying pan, cook bacon until crisp.
• Remove from pan with slotted spoon and drain.
• Add onion and garlic to bacon drippings in the pan.
• Cook until onion is soft.
• Stir in tomatoes, chilies, salt, and oregano.
• Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Continue boiling until sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low.
• Crack eggs and slowly slip into sauce, one at a time.
• Sprinkle cheese and bacon over the top.
• Cover and simmer until eggs are set, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the cilantro.
• Serve with guacamole and warmed tortillas on the side of the plate, if desired.
• Note: The sauce can be prepared a day in advance.
• Reheat and slip the eggs in just before serving.

MEXICAN BREAKFAST

Steps:

• Peel and finely slice the onions and garlic. Deseed and finely slice the peppers and chillies.
• Get a large frying pan (make sure you've got a lid to go with it) on a high heat and add several good lugs of olive oil.
• Add the onion, garlic, peppers, fresh and dried chillies, bay leaves and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and cook for 15 minutes, or until to softened and caramelised, stirring regularly.
• Pour in the tomatoes, using a spoon or potato masher to break them up. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a medium heat and cook for a further 5 minutes to reduce the sauce.
• When you've got a nice thick tomato stew consistency, have a taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
• Slice the fresh tomatoes and lay them over the top of the mixture.
• Use a spoon to make small wells in the tomato stew, then crack in the eggs so they poach in the thick, delicious juices - try to crack them in as quickly as you can so they all get to cook for roughly the same amount of time.
• Season from a height, put the lid on and let the eggs cook for around 3 to 4 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
• Warm the tortillas while this is happening. You can pop them into the oven at 180°C/350°F/gas 4 for a few minutes, microwave them for a few seconds or even lay them over the lid of the pan so they heat up as the eggs cook.
• Take the lid off and check your eggs by giving them a poke with your finger. When they're done to your liking, turn the heat off and take the pan to the table with the warmed tortillas, the Cheddar and a grater so everyone can get involved and make their own. Personally, I like to grate a bit of cheese right on to a warm tortilla, spoon an egg and some of the wonderful tomato stew on top, wrap it up, and eat it right away. What a beautiful way to wake up!
