Method

Preparation of Nopales

1
Clean and Slice Nopales
Rinse the nopales under cold water to remove dirt. Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the thorns and edges, then slice them into thin strips.
2
Cook Nopales
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced nopales and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they become tender and slightly translucent.

Preparation of Pico de Gallo

3
Chop Ingredients
Dice the tomato and onion into small pieces. Finely chop the cilantro. Combine all chopped ingredients in a bowl.
4
Season Pico de Gallo
Add lime juice and salt to the chopped ingredients in the bowl. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Cooking Eggs

5
Scramble Eggs
In a bowl, crack the three eggs and whisk them until well combined. Season with black pepper.
6
Combine and Cook
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the cooked nopales. Stir gently over medium heat until the eggs are scrambled and cooked to your liking, about 3-4 minutes.

Finishing Touches

7
Add Pico de Gallo
Once the eggs are cooked, add the pico de gallo mixture to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and heat through for an additional minute.
8
Serve
Remove from heat and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your Huevos con Nopales!
