About:
he prickly pear cactus is so important to Mexican history and cuisine that it's featured in the center of the Mexican flag. Nopalitos are cactus shoots (nopales) which are sliced, cooked, and ready to eat. Nopalitos have a texture that's similar to okra or green beans, but with a more tart, citrusy flavor. We pack them in vinegar with a little salt for uniform flavor and a firm texture. Try Them With Eggs , Meats , In Vegetarian Tacos , In Soups Or Stews, Or Even In A simple Salad With Panela Cheese. Try them with eggs (huevos con nopales), meats (carne con nopales), in vegetarian tacos (tacos de nopales), in soups or stews, or even in a simple salad with panela cheese. Unique Flavor - Adds a delicious, briny taste to any dish due to its flavorful marinade of vinegar, onion, serrano peppers, coriander, sugar, and spices.
