He cooks them with pork meat. Cut the pork in to strips and fry them then add the nopales, we buy the ones from walmart in the glass jar. Then he takes chile japon and toastes around 10 of them for about 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful because they can choke you up so turn on a fan or open the door. Then he boils tomato, half of a white onion and about 5 cloves of garlic then when they soften up he blends the chiles, tomato, garlic in a blender. Then add all of the ingredients together in one big pot. This dish is best served with black beans and onions. Add oil to a small pan, saute about 1/3 cup of onions then add beans and let cook for about 3 minutes. Best of luck to you . =) My boyfriend is hispanic and he has gotten me hooked on these.
