Vegeterian Tips: Eat a dark green vegetable broccoli, spinach, kale, collard greens at least three times a week. These nutritional powerhouses are packed full of vitamins such as calcium and iron. On the run or hate spinach? Try drinking your greens. I recommend Naked Juice s Green Machine its made with fruit juice as well as greens, so it tastes better than others.

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1 Kilo (2.2 lbs.) Nopales (cactus paddles)
• 1 Onion – halved
• 4 Cups Water
• 2 tablespoon Salt
• 2 Large Tomatoes – chopped
• 1 Large Onion – chopped
• 4 Green Chiles – Serrano or Jalapeño – chopped

Directions:

If the nopales you buy do not already have the thorns removed, do so carefully. I recommend using gloves and a carrot peeler to do this.
Once you have removed all of the thorns, wash and chop the nopales, place them in a pan with the 4 cups of water, halved onion and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30-45 minutes or until tender.
Drain nopales and combine with remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning adding more salt if necessary.
This dish gets better if you let it sit a few hours in the fridge before serving.

Serves: 4 or more

Preparation time: 1 hour
