Huevos con Nopales or Scrambled Eggs with Cactus Paddles
Put an exotic touch on your scrambled eggs by adding nopales or edible cactus! Nopales con huevos or cactus paddles with eggs is a perfect dish for breakfast or lunch.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and chopped chile and cook for 3 minutes. Mix in the nopales and sprinkle with salt. Sauté until the nopales release their viscous liquid, continue to cook until that liquid cooks off.
Add the tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes. Crack or break eggs into the nopales mixture. Mix until well combined and cook until desired consistency.
Serve with warm tortillas on the side and if desired some refried beans, your favorite salsa, and avocado slices.
