Although Cinco de Mayo is not the most important Mexican holiday, in the United States this date is celebrated much. And as I love to experiment with new recipes inspired by cuisines from all countries, I decided to share my version of one of my favorite Mexican dishes in honor of the 5 de Mayo celebration: huevos rancheros. It is a recipe for breakfast, perfect to start the day with energy. In my version, I accompany the huevos rancheros with mixed vegetables and a vegan gordita with flax seeds.

Also, try my vegan tamales.

I hope you like this recipe and happy 5 de Mayo to all!
