Nopales Con Huevo Food

NOPALES CON HUEVO

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet, add onions and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 2 minutes.
• Add the nopales and let them sweat and darken for about 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. They may exude a gelatinous liquid that will begin to dry out.
• Add tomato and stir for another 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk eggs and then add them to skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until eggs are cooked thoroughly.
• Serve with salsa of your choice and corn tortillas.

HUEVOS CON NOPALES OR SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CACTUS PADDLES

Steps:

• In a large pan heat the oil then add the onion and saute until softened. Next, add the serrano and saute for 3 minutes while stirring constantly. Next, add the nopales and garlic and the salt (I used about ½ a teaspoon), and mix until well combined. Saute until the nopales have softened and released all of their viscous liquid, continue to cook until that liquid cooks off. Then add the tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes. Stir to prevent burning. Then add the eggs and cook until the eggs are cooked to your desired texture.
• Serve with warm tortillas on the side and if desired some refried beans, your favorite salsa, and avocado slices. You could also use it as a stuffing for gorditas or to make breakfast burritos. Enjoy!

NOPALITOS CON HUEVOS - EGGS AND CACTUS

Steps:

• Fry bacon and remove to drain.
• Pour off most of the bacon drippings, leaving enough in the pan to sauté the onions and garlic.
• When onions are transparent, add chilies, nopalitos, chili powder, and tomato.
• Cook for five minutes and stir in eggs. When eggs are scrambled, top with grated cheese and bacon, and serve with tortillas, home-fried potatoes, and refried beans.
