This may be served as a side dish or in tortillas like tacos, topped with avocado.
2 pounds cactus leaves (Nopales)
Olive oil spray
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
1 large organic tomato, chopped
1/2 cup organic yellow onions, chopped
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
2 medium Serrano chiles, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
Clean nopales by scraping the surface of the nopales to remove the tiny spines. Trim the edges.
Spray nopales with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill on a preheated grill about 5 minutes on each side, until tender.
Cool to room temperature, then chill at least 4 hours or overnight. Cut nopales into strips 1/4 inch by 2 inches long.
Mix with all remaining ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
