Ingredients

  • 5-6 nopales cactus leaves
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Lime wedges about 3 limes, sliced

Instructions

  • Remove any spines first by scraping a sharp knife across the surface of the leaf. Rinse under cold water to remove any excess debris and set aside.
  • Repeat for all leaves.
  • When ready to cook, drizzle olive oil over the leaves and sprinkle a little salt.
  • Grill for about three to five minutes, or until the outside is slightly charred (or to preference). Flip and cook the other side for about the same amount of time.
  • Remove, slice into strips, and serve with a little lime juice squeezed over the top.
