Add the peanuts and cilantro and toss once more. Serve chilled or at room temperature with additional Sriracha sauce as desired.
3. No Bread Turkey BLT
Bread is awesome- let’s just admit it and then move on. But what if you had a tasty edible sandwich that didn’t have bread, but still tasted darn good?
That’s what this BLT is all about below:
- 3 slices bacon
- 1 tomato sliced
- 2 lettuce leaves
- 2 slices deli turkey
- 2 slices provolone cheese
- 2-3 tbsp cannabis butter
Turn the pan or grill onto medium heat. When the pan is hot, put the bacon in the pan until desired consistency. Some like it crispy, some like it soft! Set aside, pat dry with paper towel.
Next, add in cannabutter and allow to melt all over the surface of where you're going to be cooking. Leave some to spread inside.
Place your turkey deli into the pan, layering them side by side so they are overlapping just about an inch.
next add on top, two to three tomato slices, your pre cooked bacon, the remaining cannabis butter, and the provolone cheese. At the very last minute place lettuce inside.
Carefully roll everything togetherusing your spatula until it's wrapped up like a tortilla.
Enjoy!
