1
Clean the nopal cactus pads and cut them into strips. Add a small piece of onion and salt to boiling water, then place the nopales in to cook until tender.
2
Heat oil in a frying pan and brown the chili peppers for flavor. Add the beans and fry until golden and crispy, then drain and set aside.
3
Heat oil in a saucepan and fry the chorizo until it begins to brown. Add the chopped garlic and onion and sauté until fragrant.
4
Add the chopped tomatoes and chiles to the chorizo mixture and cook together for a bit. Season with a little salt and allow the tomatoes to release their juices.
5
Once the tomato has released its juices, add the cooked nopal cactus pads. Gently combine all ingredients to blend the flavors together.
6
Serve the fried beans on a plate and top with the chorizo and nopal mixture. Enjoy warm with tortillas.
