How to Cook Nopales con Chorizo or Cactus with Mexican Chorizo Sausage

Step 1

Prep all of your ingredients before you begin. In a large pan add a splash of oil and once hot add the onions. Saute until they begin to soften, stir often. Next, add the soyrizo and saute until it begins to crisp up a bit. Then add the nopales and saute until they turn a darker green color and have softened. They'll start realizing some of their viscous liquid but just keep cooking them to cook that off.

Step 2

Next, add the garlic and the salt, give it a good stir and cook for another minute or two to soften the garlic. Make sure you stir until well combined to distribute the garlic and salt.

Step 3

Continue to cook for another few minutes, taste and if needed adjust the salt or add any other additional seasonings. If you get a nice and flavorful soyrizo you really won't need to add much more seasonings.

Step 4

Serve as desired, see suggestions in the article. It's great to accompany with a bowl of a medium-spicy salsa if of your choice.
