Pork and Nopales: The Perfect Tacos de Guisado

If you've never used nopales before, this is a great entry-level dish! If the nopales you buy aren’t cleaned (at some Mexican groceries, you’ll find them cleaned and cut into small pieces), clean them one by one: Holding a paddle with a pair of tongs, trim off the edge that outlines the paddle, including the blunt end where the paddle was severed from the plant, then slice or scrape off all the spiny nodes from both sides. Cut the paddles into ½-inch squares or into ¼-inch strips (if any are longer than about 2 ½ inches, cut them in half).

    Pro tip for cooking nopales: if you're boiling them, add a couple of tomatillo husks in the water and cook for 10-15 minutes depending on size. Once drained and rinsed there'll be none slime left. Alternatively you can also use a little baking soda (which will also preserve the color better), but it will bubble up a lot and may cause spilling, plus the cooking is sometimes weird with it, uneven. Also, if you are daring to taste nopales in a totally different way, just cut them into either strips or squares and add a lot of sea salt on them, let cure for 15 minutes approximately, rinse the salt and you got raw nopales ready to eat with almost no slime left. If you don't like nopales, then this versiom could probably change your mind

    Depending on where you live, it can really take over! My in-laws fenced theirs off, but wound up getting rid of it because of the grandkids running around.

    I'm surprised! el cuchillo no parece afilado? Pero, guisado es sexy todos modos. Mexico guisados are my favorite and I feel we haven't shown them enough. and many folks don't know yet of how gorgeous this cooking technique can be. In US, we know pot roast and stew across the country. It's only natural to encourage guisados en teaching and demonstration.

    Why oil-roast the dried chillies here rather than dry roast them like in your other recipe videos?

  • @RBtestkitchen

    Great question! Sometimes we want the finished chiles to be used in a salsa or dish without any fat, so dry toasting works best. Here, the finished sauce will have pork fat so we can simplify the steps by using the same pan and toasting in oil. Allison, Rick's Test Kitchen Director

    When you cleaned the nopales, I could see a teeny number of "nodes" in the pile with the cut-up cactus, and a few scattered on the board there as well. Do you then rinse the cut pieces to ensure that there are no nodes at all, or are a few nodes not a problem? I'm a little worried by the word "disastrous" in reference to touching (and presumably eating) the nodes....

  • @RBtestkitchen

    Take care to remove and separate all the nodes! We don't suggest rinsing, but you could take a paper towel to gently scrape each side of the paddle to make sure you got them all. Allison, Rick's Test Kitchen Director
