Harvesting and cooking a ranch mealfrom @primo.cheo

[01]

Overview

The creator, dressed as a rancher, starts by harvesting cactus-like plants called 'crucetas' or 'jacubes' with a machete in a wooded area. He then moves to an outdoor cooking station to tend to a pot of beans over an open fire. Finally, he stands at a wooden table, explains what the harvested plants are, and begins preparing them by peeling and chopping them for a traditional 'a la mexicana' dish.
