What can you do with cactus?
You don't have to cook the cactus-you can get it canned!

Nopales! They are just like string beans. You can buy them raw and cook them, but you have to de-spine them, chop and then boil.

They make a 'slime' that some people find offensive, just rinse and heat.

Breakfast?

Chorizo, egg, some nopales?

Or you can buy a canned enchilada sauce-has to be red- toss some nopales in and heat it up! serve as a side veggie.

Scrambled eggs and nopales, with some salsa in a flour tortilla? Lunch?

By themselves!

Buy a small jar to get the taste -sabor (sah bore)- and go from there!

Oh and invite your sister over and cook for her!
