Rinse the leaves off

Take a very sharp knife you have to remove the thorns the thorns are on raised parts of the cactus leaves so its not hard lay your knife on side to cut away shave the high part with thorn off I dont buy cactus already cleaned and chopped I want to know those thorns are gone for my self and loved ones to eat

Clean both sides and edges also cut the thick end off after its cleaned since I am breading it I score it lightly so the sap can be released

Then I cut it into bite sized pieces put into a bag add the other ingredients let it sit for a couple of hours room temperature

Get oil hot ,fry, set onto paper towels to soak up excess oil enjoy
