Ingredients

½ jar of Nopalitos María Dolores
½ onion
1 tbsp oil for frying
Salt and pepper

½ onion
1 tbsp oil for frying
Salt and pepper
Method
Nopalitos are naturally slimy – the mucilage plays a role in the absorption of water by the cactus plant – which is why you should place them in a sieve and rinse them under cold running water before transferring them into a large bowl filled with water. Soak for 5 minutes, drain well and cut into quarters.
Dice the onion. Crack and scramble the eggs.
Heat oil in a frying pan. Glaze the onion in the oil, then add the nopalitos and keep frying both for a little while.
Add the eggs and let them set over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with black beans, corn tortillas and salsa verde or salsa roja.
