This recipe is from my mom. Nopales are a natural plant from Mexico, part of the cactus family, and are very nutritious and filling.

If you’re someone who doesn’t usually like vegetables, you have to try this super simple, budget-friendly, and delicious dish.

What??? Yes, you read that right. Enchiladas stuffed with nopales. Yummy. Enjoy!P.S. We don't eat spicy food—when you have little ones, it's sometimes tricky to cook with spice included, but I add it in the recipe.

This recipe is a delight that my mother prepared ... very simple, but very delicious. My mother had to think about what to cook, that it should be cheap, nutritious and tasty, because she had to feed 12 mouths . And this recipe gives us enough nutrients for a good breakfast or as an accompaniment if we want a main course with any meat. These Nopales with Egg, beans from the pot and some homemade tortillas... are a meal of 10!!!

When I was a child, we used to travel to the town where my grandfather's cousin lived. Every time we arrived, they welcomed us with delicious food. This is one of many recipes I remember fondly.

I love this recipe because it's steamed and you can use very little or no oil at all.

I hated nopales when I was young because they can be slobbery. But when I grew, I learned how to cook them properly (tips below)

Another way to prepare delicious nopales, with little oil and lots of flavor.
