Mexican-inspired recipes to help you start the day the right way.

Start the day the right way with these delicious recipes that are worth waking up early for. We’ve teamed up with our friends at Old El Paso™ to celebrate the incredible breakfast dishes Mexico has to offer.

Mexican-inspired recipes from Old El Paso™ are quick, easy and the perfect way to start the day. We love Andy Bates’s Huevos Rancheros – eggs cooked with delicious salsa served on top of soft tortillas and creamy refried beans. If you're a bacon lover, try these Smoked Bacon Breakfast Tortillas filled with crispy bacon, fiery scrambled eggs, fresh avocado and Old El Paso™ Cool Soured Cream Topping.

Packed with fresh flavours, breakfast in Mexico is all about beginning the day with something substantial – Breakfast Burritos are always a good idea. Just remember that your Mexican-inspired breakfast should be bursting with freshness and a little heat to really wake up your taste buds.
