Cactus Taco Ingredients
Cactus Taco Directions
1. Prepare the Cactus
Begin by washing the nopal cactus pads thoroughly. Remove any spines with a knife. Cut the pads into small strips.
2. Cook the Cactus
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the cactus strips and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until tender. Stir in the diced tomato, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.
3. Warm the Tortillas
In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over low heat on both sides until they are pliable.
4. Assemble the Tacos
Place a generous portion of the cactus mixture onto each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado and crumbled feta cheese.
5. Serve
Serve the cactus tacos warm with extra lime wedges and cilantro on the side.
