COOKING TIME

45 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup, sliced Nopales, raw (about 3, cleaned and sliced into 1/4" strips)

1/2 medium White onions (chopped)

2 clove Garlic, raw

4 large Egg(s)

1/4 cup, chopped Green onions

1 Tbsp. Olive oil

1/4 tsp. Salt

1 medium Tomatoes (diced)

1 pepper Peppers, serrano, raw (stemmed, seeded, and diced)

Instructions

Gather all ingredients and equipment.

Using gloves to protect your hands and holding the nopales with tongs, trim the edge off of each nopales paddle. Remove the thorns and eyes by scraping your knife across both sides of the cactus. Then rinse thoroughly to remove any leftover spines. Slice into 1/4" strips.

Bring medium pot of water to a boil. Add nopales, onion, and garlic. Boil for about 10 minutes or until tender. Drain and pat dry.

In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and salt until thoroughly combined. Set aside. Heat nonstick pan over medium heat. Add oil. Once hot, saute scallions for 2 -3 minutes.

Stir in nopales and cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through. Add eggs and cook until set, stirring frequently. Top with diced tomato and serrano pepper and serve.
