Nopales are the edible pads of the prickly pear cactus, sliced into thin strips and boiled or grilled to reduce their natural sliminess, then used in salads, tacos, soups, or as a side dish. A traditional ingredient in central Mexican cuisine since Aztec times, nopales are prized for their tart flavor and nutritional value. Commonly eaten for breakfast or lunch, they’re often paired with eggs, tomatoes, onions, or served chilled with lime and queso fresco.
