toreados, meaning to torear the peppers to make them spicier by roasting (more traditional) or deep frying; this is more work but it makes the peppers a lot more
flavorful.

Clean the nopales, roast them in a flat pan and dice them. Roast or deep fry the peppers and dice them. Then follow the same steps as in the previous recipe.
