Steps

1

Dice the cactus paddles into squares and boil them in a pot with water and salt (this is to remove the excess slime from the cactus). Once done, drain them. Set aside.
2

Dice the onion, tomatoes, and serrano pepper. Set aside.
3

In a pan with a little oil, add the seasoned ground beef and brown it. Once browned, add the vegetables and cactus paddles (that we previously set aside).
4

Next, add the spicy tomato puree and 1/2 cup of water (to prevent it from being too dry). Add salt to taste. Wait about 5 minutes and it's ready!
