As soon as I saw the Nopal I knew I had to prepare something fun! I have never eaten Nopales (I use to be very picky) so this would definitely be something new & exciting!
I decided on tacos, it would be simple and easy! Of course I used my husband as the taste tester, he was actually licking his fingers after he ate it, it was so good! I need more Nopales!
Right after we devoured our one Nopal Taco I say to my husband "I bet this is your first cactus taco" haha...Yes it was! and mine too...
