30 THE PROTEIN

One whole egg has around 7g of protein and about 80 calories. (Buy local and fresh, if you can, for flavour and nutrition.) Extra-large eggs will best cover small tortillas, so you get a little of each in every bite

HUEVOS RANCHEROS WHAT YOU’LL NEED

(FEEDS 2)

• 2 TBSP OLIVE OIL

• 4 SMALL CORN TORTILLAS

• 4 EXTRA-LARGE EGGS

• 250G SALSA MACHA (SEE RECIPE BELOW)

• 1 AVOCADO, SLICED

• CORIANDER LEAVES

AND GREEK YOGHURT OR LABNEH TO GARNISH

COOK IT

In a medium non-stick pan, warm 1 tbsp oil over a medium heat. Cook the tortillas till puffed, 20 to 30 secs per side. Remove each tortilla and place them between paper towels in a tortilla warmer, or wrap in a clean towel to keep them warm.

In the same pan, add the remaining oil and cook the eggs one at a time until the whites set and the yolks are still runny. Season with salt, remove from the pan and place on a large plate.

Place 2 cooked tortillas on each plate, followed by an egg on each tortilla. On each plate, add roughly 1 tbsp of the salsa macha on each of the eggs and tortillas to cover the tortillas and most of the egg whites. Garnish each plate with ½ a sliced avocado, coriander and a spoonful of Greek yoghurt or labneh. Finish with flaky sea salt.
