When it's this hot outside you definitely do not want to spend hours slaving away in an even hotter kitchen, nor is it the weather for heavy, creamy dishes which is why my take on the Mexican classic Huevos Rancheros worked such a treat on a balmy Friday night!
Packed with flavour, more of an assembly than cooking job and pretty much summer on a plate, I can only recommend you make these asap for yourself at home (and if you feel extra suave serve them up with a spicy Marg on the side!).

- 1 medium onion, diced
