    Thanks for showing the picking and peeling. I like nopales but had never seen the prep. My favorite was made on a campfire by a young lady from Sonora who sliced the leaves along one side to make a pita like opening, then grilled both sides while cooking spicy sausage then stirring eggs into the pan. The nopales were opened and filled with the sausage/egg mixture and some chopped green onion. The whole thing was wrapped with a flour tortilla. One of the best breakfasts I have ever had.
