Here is the nopale "stir fry" that we had for lunch yesterday. Joseph Fruin is teaching Shar and the kids Spanish and for part of the lessons they are cooking good, inexpensive food he learned to prepare at New Tribes Bible Institute in Chihuahua, Mexico!
Guisano Con Nopales (cactus leaves)
Fry up onions until they are sort of clear. add some herbs- basil,
add chopped garlic and fry for a while.
mix all that around.
push onions and garlic to side and out in a couple pads of cut up nopales- add salt
wait for a while till the nopales are fried well.
add 3-5 chopped poblano (Anaheim) peppers- add pepper and granular garlic.
Add a couple arbol peppers here too.
cook this stuff up for a few minutes.
take all this stuff and put it in bowl.
fry a bunch of cut potatoes-- add spices and herbs.- granular garlic, basil, salt and pepper.
When potatoes are fried, mix some beans and all the stuff you put in the bowl.
add 3 cut limes. cover it with lid and let cook for maybe 2-3 minutes
add some cut tomatoes
stir everything around.
take out limes and its ready to eat with tortillas...
ENJOY!
