Nopalitos Con Huevo (Cactus with Egg)
Ingredients
- 2 cups nopales (cactus paddles) cut into ½-inch squares
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon canola or other vegetable oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- STEP 1: Heat the canola oil in a skillet at medium heat. Add the nopal squares and immediately turn the heat to very low. Sauté for 10 minutes. The nopal will acquire a nice color and the viscous juices will evaporate. STEP 2: Add the eggs, egg whites and salt, and scramble continuously until the cactus squares are coated with the eggs. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the eggs are set. Season to taste.
