How to Make Nopalitos Con Huevos Breakfast Tacos

  1. If using raw nopalitos: Wash and clean 2-3 nopales. Remove spines. Slice thinly and boil in salted water for 10 minutes until tender. Drain well and chop.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes, or until softened.
  5. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently to scramble, until eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist.
  6. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cooked nopalitos. Cook for 1 minute more, until heated through.
  7. Wrap tortillas in foil and warm in a 325°F (160°C) oven for 5 minutes to soften.
  8. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the egg and nopalito mixture onto each tortilla.
  9. Garnish with minced cilantro.
  10. Fold tortillas in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Nopalitos Con Huevos Breakfast Tacos!
