Side Dishes: Ensalada de Nopales (Cactus Salad)  [Español/Castellano]

1 32 oz. jar of diced nopales (several Mexican and U.S. brands already distribute in the Southwest)

2 to 4 jalapeño peppers (depending on how much heat you can take)

3 medium size tomatoes

½ cup of diced cilantro

½ small onion

salt and pepper to taste

Rinse and dice the tomatoes, onions, peppers and cilantro. Mix with the nopales, add salt and black pepper to taste and listo!

For a somewhat more time-consuming, but tastier recipe, try Nopales Tiernos.
