    When spending time in Mexico City, a common ingredient you will see in a variety of dishes is nopales or prickly pear cactus leaves. One of the favorite ways I've had nopales is as a topping for taco. Today, I'm going to visit the market for another taste and then see if I can recreate them in the kitchen for all of you.

    so glad you liked nopales!, make sure to cook them in pure salt. cut them thinly and douse em in salt, let them rest for 20 minutes and wash salt and slime. mix them with cilantro, raw onion, jalapeño, tomato and lime juice. throw a little avocado if you want and put it all on a corn tortilla with chicharron!

    Ethan make them with eggs and red chile powder. Just cut the nopales into small squares. For 3 cactus pads use about 12 eggs. Half an onion, chopped cilantro, and also sprinkle on some black pepper,along with the red chile powder to taste. Spice up the cactus pads first, and when they're about done, add the eggs into the pan. Now those make great tacos. Also heat up your corn tortillas in a tiny amount of oil. They'll be more flexible and tastier. Before you eat the taco pour on some green El Yucateco Habanero hot sauce. Just cut half the small bottle, with half apple cider vinegar. Yes pour out half the sauce, and add vinegar to it. You can make 2 bottles from 1, and will be super tasty, but not so hot. Great video.👍😉🌵🌵🌵

    Pro Tip: Before Saute or frying the Nopales, you should BOIL them to remove the goop xD, you boil them with a tablespoon of salt and 1 of baking soda for 5-10 min, and drain them, they should be a little on the olive green or darker color you can rinse them and then you can fry them, so you won't get that mess on the oil

    Every time I’ve eaten cactus I thought it was pickled or at least marinated in some kind of acidic sauce. This is like a kid learning that pickles don’t just grow that way, except the exact opposite. Cactus is really great, especially if your already used to “slimy” vegetables like okra.

    I love your channel and I'm playing catch-up, and I'm so jealous of your food adventures in Mexico City, but I grew up in South Texas and love nopales and it hurts to hear you pronounce the word 😀. In Spanish, if there's no written accent, then the 2nd to last syllable is emphasized. The "PA" has the stress. Also, they are amazing when pickled. I have a lacto-fermented relish I make with nopales, jalapeño, onion, cilantro, corn, and jicama that I keep in my fridge and it goes on all sorts of Mexican dishes.

    Hi Ethan, it's best to cook/boil the diced or sliced nopales in water/salt/few cloves of garlic for 15-20 min. discard the water/garlic, to get rid of the sliminess, then fry or cook it in the chile de Arbol infused oil. Also, in the International aisle of your local SuperM. or the Latino/Mexican Super M. you can find the Nopales fresh in bags in the produce section, whole or cut/sliced, in addition, they sell it in jars, cooked, in brine. Rinse in a colander before using, and cook it with your scrambled eggs, or add to ground beef and sauce, delicious.

I also like the way you credit the hard working cooks you stumble across and who let you film them. Subbed!
    When the situation allows it again, I'd recommend exploring the regional cuisines of Spain too (different to that of Mexico); they're robust, tasty dishes and unfairly overshadowed by their French and Italian neighbours.

    I realise this is a year old but imma give you a quick hack for pronouncing Spanish:
    If there’s no accent, stress the second to last syllable. Otherwise stress the accent.
    That rule will get you through reading the vast majority of Spanish words. This one gets you through the rest:
    Unless the word ends in a vowel, N or S. Then you stress the last syllable.
    You can now read any Spanish word that’s been spelt correctly

    Side note: Cutting the cactus into strips that a U-shape peeler can cut the pricklies off in a swipe will cut down prep time! After cutting the cactus, salting the cut pieces and letting them rest for at least 20 minutes will help remove moisture which will remove the sliminess. Wash with cold water and they are great in a salad! Fight Charlo!

      This carnitas place where I had it left it in a small bowl on the table for a topping. You could use it for a filling too though. I have plenty of nopales tacos in my time in cdmx.

    Pronunciation tip: Nopales = No PAW Lays.

      the pronunciation is closer to “no-Pah-lez”, but its fine since his pronunciation is close enough to know what hes talking about

    OK, his pronunciation of "nopales" is going to hurt my ears for this whole video.
    Also it would be great if you could have gotten the name of the "taco guy" who you got the recipe from and given his stand some free advertising. Because basically now you've taken his recipe, made yourself some $$ and he's got nothing...
    Also reference the video where you learned how to scrape the nopales efficiently
