Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 garlic clove
- ¼ onion
- ¼ tsp salt
- 5 cups of nopales
Instructions
- Place the clean nopales inside a pot with nothing in it! no water, no oil, just the pot with the nopales inside.
- Cover the pot with a lead and let the nopalitos cook at medium heat.
- Nopales have the slime and a lot of water and they literally cook in their own juice.
- cook the nopales at medium heat for 20 minutes or until they all have changed to an olive green color and feel soft.
- Place the nopales inside a strainer and rinse with cold water, this will stop the heat and will help you to get rid of the slime that they could still have.
