Instructions
-
1Ranchero sauce: Heat 1 tbsp (15 ml) cannabis oil in pan. Sauté 2 garlic cloves + 1 jalapeño (remove seeds for milder version) over medium heat 1 minute until fragrant. Add 1 can (14 oz/400g) diced tomatoes or 4 fresh plum tomatoes (diced). Add 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp oregano, salt. Simmer 10–12 minutes until sauce is thick and aromatic. Season with salt and lime juice.
-
2Heat beans: Warm 1 can (14 oz/400g) black or pinto beans (drained and rinsed) in small pot with 1 tbsp cannabutter, garlic powder, cumin, and salt. Lightly mash — not to paste but not completely chunky. Beans should be creamy-textured. Keep warm.
-
3Poach eggs in sauce: Bring ranchero sauce to medium heat. Create small wells in sauce. Carefully slide one egg into each well (do not stir!). Cover, cook 3–5 minutes depending on desired yolk consistency. Perfect huevos rancheros: Whites set, yolk still runny. Alternative: Fry eggs separately (sunny-side up) and place on sauce.
-
4Build and serve: Toast tortillas (corn for authentic, flour for milder) 30 seconds per side in dry pan until lightly browned and fragrant. Lay on plates. Spread beans generously. Top with egg-sauce combination. Garnish: Fresh avocado or guacamole, sour cream or crème fraîche, cotija cheese (or feta substitute), fresh cilantro, lime wedges. Cannabis onset: 60–75 minutes.
