After a night of too much wine, kids seldom grasp the depth of the phrase OMG STOP JUMPING ON ME I’M GONNA VOMIT PLEASE JUST LET ME SLEEP FOR THE LOVE OF SHEEN.
When a little hair of the dog is out of the question, I call in the reinforcements.
Two advil.
A tall glass of water, no matter how bad the thought of it makes me want to puke.
Huevos Rancheros. The spicier the better.
This is a two pan or less meal, and every ingredient in this is something I ALWAYS have on hand in my house.
Huevos Rancheros

Because sometimes, you can't opt for a little hair of the dog.
Ingredients
- 4 corn tortillas (These are so cheap and come in a huge stack, I freeze them in groups of 4)
- 1 can Refried Beans
- 1 can Black Beans (drained)
- 2 Eggs
- Sour Cream
- Guacamole (Buy premade packets of this and freeze it.)
- Shredded Cheese
- Vegetable Oil
- Hot Sauce
Instructions
- In a medium sized pan, heat up the refried beans on one side and the drained black beans on the other. Just heat them through, as the refried beans are much more easy to spread when warm. (This can also be done in the microwave.)
- Coat the bottom of another pan with vegetable oil and heat over medium heat. Once to temperature, fry up the corn tortillas, one at a time. You want them still bendable, but crispy, so about 5 minutes on each side. Set them aside to drain and sprinkle with just a touch of sea salt.
- In the same pan you fried the tortillas, fry your eggs. I prefer over easy. Hangovers love runny eggs.
- Now it's time to assemble. 1 Fried corn tortilla, spread with refried beans, top with black beans, then top with the second fried tortilla, followed by 1 fried egg. Repeat to make another stack.
- Top with guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, and loads of hot sauce.
This time, I garnished with fresh tomatoes and some chopped up bacon. I like to serve my huevos rancheros with red potatoes fried up in a pan with a sweet onion and seasoned with salt, pepper and chili powder.
Relax, recover and devour.
Yes, yes, yes! Huevos Rancheros are the perfect hangover food. Also the perfect Saturday morning, I am pregnant and feel disgusting but would give up my still skinny ankles to have breakfast! I also enjoy chilaquilles, but agree that runny eggs are of great importance for curing hangovers. You need to be hungover in San Antonio, then someone can fetch and make these breakfasts for you!
Mmmm…chilaquilles are the best!
I have never had this food and now all I want is this.
SO BADLY.
RIGHT NOW.
But I think that it should come with someone to make it..because I now have a wine headache and am sleep deprived and really NEED this..but am too lazy to get off the couch where I’m pretending to work. Yeah. I’m THAT lazy. And I definitely have all of these ingredients like, 20 feet from where I am. Seriously….Damn my lazy self.
Nearly 45 years on this earth, several (make that SEVERAL) bouts of over-imbibing and I have never, evr had a hangover. For me, water works. Lots and lots of water. The hangover headache is cuz the alcohol dries you up so there isn’t enough liquid in/around your brain. Water replenishes that loss of liquid. Just sayin’. But the recipe sounds awesome and I think I even have just about everything mentioned. Now I know what my lunch is gonna be. Thanks!
I think I need this in my life. A girlfriend of mine had a drunk viewing party of the Sheen 20/20 interview last night. Now, I feel like the opposite of a WINNER. Am going to rummage through my pantry for ingredients. Also, am going to spend too much time wishing I had tiger blood, so that I could drink a few glasses of wine (or in Sheen’s case do all of the coke in Mexico) and still wake up feeling like a million bucks (notice I didn’t say looking, because Sheen definitely looks like he’s been punch in the face with some hard living.)
oh I love this.
Know what eles works really well? Take a charcoal tablet right before you hit the hay. You can buy them at any health food store, even target.
OMG, what am I? Who have I become? Do I have a problem?
I’ve always known we would cook up a storm in a kitchen together, this just confirms my hunch. Fuck. Yeah.
I was always lucky. My Irish ancestors blessed me. As long as I had some water and enough sleep, I was fine. Of course, now that I have a toddler, I haven’t had enough sleep in about two years. So… Thank you!
And great tip about freezing tortillas. Don’t know why I didn’t think of that. I have a freezer full of bagels and English muffins…
“for the love of Sheen” is gonna be my crankiest non-swear from now on.
*fist bump*
Where has this recipe been all my life?
YES! Best hangover food ever.
I am considering ‘tying one on’ tonight, just for the excuse to have these tomorrow morning!
Hey guess what!!! I love you soooo much that I nominated you for a Stylish Blogger Award. All you have to do to accept is visit my blog post “Stylish!? Who me?” and follow the steps on your own blog! Congratulations and happy blogging!
It’s my birthday today and I’M GONNA NEED THESE TOMORROW! Who’s coming over to help me in the kitchen??
Cheers friends!
I want.
I’ve had my share of hangovers, and runny eggs with a lot of shit piled on top doesn’t seem like something I could handle. If yall can eat that with a hangover, I tipsy my hat to you.
I’m cooking this tonight or this weekend. So nice! Except the runny eggs, we’ll do well done :)
