Side Dishes: Nopales
Tiernos (Tender Cactus) [Español/Castellano]
6 to 8 nopales tiernos
2 to 4 jalapeño peppers (depending how
much heat you can take)
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.
