Taquitos de Nopalitos!








What you need:

About 5 cactus pads (in mexican grocery stores you can find bags of pre-cut nopales)
3-4 carrots, chopped
1 large onion
A quarter cup of apple cider vinegar
Pinch of oregano
Pinch of cumin
Vegetable or olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Tortillas
Queso ranchero

Remove spines from cactus pads and cut into small pieces. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the cactus pads and carrots and cook for 25-30 minutes. (Note: if you don´t cook them enough they will be very slimy!)In a large frying pan add oil and chopped onions. When onions are browned and transparent add the cooked nopales, carrots, vinager, oregano, cumin and salt & pepper to taste. Mix together and cook for about 5 minutes.

Serve with tortillas, hot sauce and queso fresco.
