Rancher Testicles

Huevos Rancheros is basically beans with eggs on top, with veggies on top of that. As always, the main rule is: do what you want to do, don't do what you don't want to do. Let's start with the beans:

For the beans, I used black beans and mixed them with refried beans. I started by frying some garlic, jalepeno, and a few small pieces of cow liver. After they was all cooked up good, I put in some cilantro stalk and some lime. We cooked them long enough to thicken up a bit, maybe about an hour.

Our neighbor Leonard came by and hooked us up with some sausages. The eggs were fried in the sausage greese by Nick. Easy. We also fried some corn tortillas. This too is easy.

The best part is the fresh vegetables to top it all off with. I chose red pepper, cilantro, avocado, and tomatillo, you are free to choose anything you wish. I cut up all the vegetables in medium sized pieces and salted them and mixed them in a bowl and put them in the refridgerator.

Here is a diagram of how I chose arrange the pieces:
