Brings back memories of my father. We use to go out in the desert to pick nopales and then he would dethorn them in his shed for our dinner. Mom would prepare shrimp patties in red chili and nopalitos with beans de la oya.Yum!
I miss him so much. Fortunately I still have mom, 106 yrs old.
Thank you for your videos.
106!!! God bless her and you all. Give her a hug from me, I lost my Mom14 months ago at 88. Happy Mother’s Day
to all mothers
106??? Wild
Wish you would share your mom’s recipe….sounds sooooooo good😊
Okayeat
I love grilling nopales! When making carne asada throw some on the gril and they are bomb in a taco con su salsita🤤🤤
I love nopales! My family thinks I'm crazy but they're so good when they're cooked with onions! I'm really loving your channel.
What do they taste like??
Like a better tasting green bean
I cooked them for the first time but I didn't know how to get rid of the slippery slime. I baked two another time but it was too dry.
Okra
“Ya vez? Por pendeja!” 😂🤷🏻♀️ I can close my eyes and hear my mom saying it now LOL.
I love nopalitos!! They remind me of my grandmother. She made them for us during lent. So delicious!! I love mine scrambled with onions and eggs...yum!
CLOTHES PIN! CLOTHES PIN! That’s what we use to not get thorns while cutting nopales. 🤓
how
jackie biggs you use the cloth pins to hold the cactus paddle, like a clip.
Lol, I was thinking same thing. I grew up seeing my mom and neighbor would cut the nopales.
Marigold Russell do they even sell those now own days?
Nevaeh Celes , yes they are in the same aisle you’d buy clothes hangers. They also sell them in craft aisles but oddly are sometimes more expensive there.
The best Chili Verde is made with Nopales, along with pork, Tomatillo's, Anaheim peppers, onions, garlic, jalapeno's, cilantro and salt.
Yum!!
Ohhhhhh my goodness my mouth watered reading this comment
Everyone different but noples do not different haha
I just harvested my first batch of paddles, and following your directions made some awesome Nopales! Thank you! Especially for all the nutritional info at the end!
Thank you! I'm mixed and grew up with a Caucasian mom so no one taught me how to prepare nopales so they scared me until now 😂
Matt D mixed with what?

When we were kids, my brother fell into a huge cactus. Poor thing had the spinas everywhere. Grandpa grabbed hit duct tape. Worked like a charm. So, use duct tape for the thorns.
I just found your channel - I don't know much about Mexican food but I love your content - you're funny and so is your co-host. Keep up the great work!
😁😋😁
We grill them and they come out great.
With cheese in between 2 nopales
My husband uses a spoon to scrap the spinas. I love them !!
I wanted to see your procedure for cooking nopales. I am now captivated because of your sincerity and the relationship you have with your friend…. Awesome!!! New subscriber!!!
I enjoyed you and our sisters talk, on how you love having each other around and that little talk. Makes me think of me and my sister. She’s my best friend.
I was just thinking that was such a special part of the channel.
I love nopales grilled on my carne asada tacos
My hubby cut some today and said bring the tablet and put your friend on. He was talking about you girl. Lol.
Just subscribed to your channel. I turned my Korean wife to nopales and loves them. Now, she wants to learn how to cook them.
You’re brave girl,I have to wear gloves, use tongs anything to keep me from getting poked cuz it hurts!!! Especially the tiny ones that are almost invisible and impossible to get out!! Anyway my mami taught me to sauté them without oil and chopped onions and salt. Super tasty and easy to do. We eat them as a side, along with frijoles and arroz!! Mmmmmm
I've always wanted to know how to make nopales with out the slim Thanks Steph sending love to you all from one of your Bells
Thanks! Nopales are my mom's favorite, especially with some eggs and beans for breakfast 😁👍 thank you!! ♥️
We also add avocado slices, jalapeños and queso panela . Plus the pico now I gotta make em😋
I've only had nopales on top of a grilled skirt steak I think it was at a Taqueria a few times but I absolutely loved it! I've never cooked my own but I'm so glad you know how to make them not slimy. I can't deal with the slimy either. We have the same battle in Texas with okra
I miss nopales. My Abuelita used to make it when she was still with us. I live in Hawaii and dont know if the cactus that grows here is the same kind. I tried the bottled one and I didnt like it. And I can't stomach nopales is slimy too. Thanks for making this video!
Ooh which island I think Oahu is able to host it but I would definitely think the big island does. Hawai’i island had more dryer climate from what I remember
Like okra... over cooking equals SLIME
I was thinking the same thing! Lol
My Great Aunt loves the slime from okra. 🤢
I've never had nopales... One day I might try them. I used to have a lot of nopales growing wild in my yard but I didn't know they were food so I had the yard guys cut them down. Also, I love the relationship that you and your sister have. Y'all are both so fortunate to have that bond. Happy Mother's Day. 💗💗💗
Have y'all ever tried using nopales on your skin or hair? It's supposed to be really good. That slimy water from the first boiling might make a good hair rinse, even with that onion in there. Onion is supposed to stimulate hair growth, so you might have like a magical diy hair conditioner there lol.
Never eaten Cactus ! Is it really that good ? I would love to see you do tacos with these!😊
It's VERY tasty! I love it pickled!
The love between you sisters is what made me start watching ; the excellent cooking and nutritional tips ate what made me subscribe! You guys have converted this old Black women to appreciate your wonderful cuisine. I was already addicted to your Artisans work, the spices and beautiful people!
Thank you, Queen, I appreciate you spending time us ladies!! Black love, Brown pride❤️
What you said! 😀❤️….Another old black woman converted! 😀❤️
I think I'd use a large fork or tongs to hold the cactus "leaf" so as not to get scratched up! Thanks for the video!
My technique has always been, I open the can and rinse them in water, then dump them into my dish. They are great in egg bakes. I have picked the pears, but the leaves have always scared me a little.
I have had cactus grilled not a fan of the slime. Today I had a sandwich called tortas. Omg it was so good in the future could you do tutorial on that. 😀
I've learned that the real secret to good torts is the bread! If you can find the REAL torts bread, the rest is easy.
Tortas! Not torts! Stupid autocorrect! LOL
Thanks! I liked your video, I boiled nopales yesterday for the first time because I want to eat healthier.
I goggled “how to boil nopalitos” and it said to rinse them with warm water 24:53 before boiling them to remove the slime, I only boiled a pound, I warmed the water with just a little bit of salt I added the nopalitos and I only cooked them for 10 minutes extra after boiling, so a total of 15 min, then I rinsed them again with warm water and there was no more slime.
I think that by cooking them 35 minutes then rinsing them in the cold water and cooking them another 35 minutes😢😢😢😢 you are loosing all the nutrients from the nopalitos.
I grew up in México in a city with an elevation of almost 5000 ft above see level, so everything takes longer to cook, now I’m at an elevation of less than 1000 ft above see level, so everything cooks faster, you maybe at a higher elevation and that’s why you have to cooked them for much longer?
Please, share your hard times here and there, because someone maybe going through a very hard season in their lives and they maybe encouraged by you 👍🏻
I love nopales if you are trying to lose weight it’s a great meal bulker. Paired with fried fish is my favorite low calorie meal.
Hi 👋🙋♀️ I’ve never heard of this recipe before but it looks very interesting and healthy. Just wanted to wish you, your beautiful mom and mother in law a very Happy Mother’s Day. I’m a mother of eight and grandmother of ten lol. I love your channel, I watch you everyday even when I’m on my treadmill lol. Your spinach tortillas is one of my favorites. Keep up the great work you’re doing. Have a blessed day and God bless you and your beautiful family. 👵🏻👩🍳💐🙋♀️👏🏻💃🏼🙏🐶❤️🐶
Will there still be sprinkly/poky things inside them after you cut them up? I cut up some nopales and noticed little things that looked like espinas in between them. This was after I cleaned and chopped it up. Is it normal or should I not eat it?
I love listening to your stories. My mom would make nopales. But I use to hate them. And now I love them.
Wow! I didn’t know peyote was a type of cactus. Always thought it was a kind of mushroom.
I've had the salad at a Mexican restaurant on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx and it was delicious. Seeing the paddles in the market and now I want to give it a shot. Is there any type of dressing that you use?
My husbands family makes theirs almost like a pico. With onions, cilantro, jalapeños, and sometimes tomato. They usually eat it on tostadas but I really like it on tacos!
Yes! Add avocado
This was very interesting to watch! A labor of love preparing these .My daughter heard you voice from the other room and came in to see if you were live..Sara Janes Journey has watched you from the time you had about 1,000 followers..Look at you now! 💚
You have a beautiful family mama Dede. I thank you both for the kindness you have shared with me. I want to wish you a beautiful mother's day and thank you for honoring us with Sara Jane's Journey. ❤️
First time I had khakis I was nine years old we are on a camping trip with the neighbors who were Mexican and I fell in love with it now that I’m older I can’t find it anywhere where do I find a store where I can buy it
YOU TWO CRACK ME UP!!! ..... "Do you think that's what your fingers sound like when they're getting chopped off""?
Hi just wanna let you know i am berrry thankful to have come across your channel thank you for teaching me how to cook tasty foods and i love your chatting😘 honestly thank you for showing me a path of better eating my man is going to be happy
I use a veggie peeler after trimming edges...tks for the recipe
You ladies have me missing El Paso in a very big way. Food is just not the same anywhere else.
This is exactly how my mom makes them but she adds a garlic too then she cooks them with beef to make a Mexican guiso.
I've seen these grilled, fryed, pan seared, in soups, in tacos. Aloe vera juice is my favorite. I am tempted to try these. I love Aloe on my hair and skin too. I would also love to try that red cactus 🌵 Sonoma juice, or peyote. Putting it on the bucket list. I'm also curious can someone eat the dry looking cactus from a house plant, like if they were on a starving reality t.v. show like desafio the box, I keep staring at them, & I keep wondering why the contestants won't eat them.
Good eats. You sisters are awesome. I enjoy watching your cooking videos.
Your instructions made it easy to clean the thorns off. I put plastic wrap on the counter 1st so it would be easier clean up after. Very gently lifted and folded the plastic wrap for clean up
My husband is just like your mom. He grew a nopal plant out of a nopal I bought from the store. He let it sit out for a few days and then plant it. Now I have a plant as big as yours. I only cut a couple to let it grow.
Thank you SO MUCH for showing me how to clean these! My neighbor asked me for some of my cactus a few years ago. She is Mexican! I told her to get all she wanted. lol
Could you do a video maybe one day of your most used kitchen tools or your fave tools for this type of cooking? I would love to get a beginners list of things that I would not be able to do without in a Mexican food prep kitchen. I already have my grannies molcajete and a tortilla press and a few other things but I feel like I would like to have some more guidance. Anyway, just an idea. Our lives are so busy and I already appreciate all that your videos bring to us . I take notes when I watch your videos! You share so much information! Thanks for all you do! AND your sister to!! Lots of love from Texas!❤️
Also, used to think the thin, younger looking cactus weren’t the best. Just thought they didn’t look hearty enough. Thanks for the lesson. Although I’m Mexican American, we didn’t often eat them and when we did, they were the ones from a jar.😟 Wish my mom had grown an edible nopal plant. Both my parents liked nopales. Had they known of the health benefits of this plant food, they might have prevented some of their health issues (diabetes).
My family loves nopales... My mom is kind enough to prepare them for us.
Did not know about nopales until I attended a cooking school in Mexico a few years ago. Now I seek them out and have even bought them at the large market in Houston. LOVE them in tacos. Loved driving by the huge fields of them in Mexico...so pretty and green. I loved watching the ladies cleaning them in the markets...made quick and easy work of it..I'm sure they have been doing it for a long time. Love your channel...just found it. I may be on my computer for days now.
In my hunny's rancho we call the big dull colored nopales pencas. We cut up some fresh nopales, tomato, oni
on, and chile de arbol and put all that in the penca and cook it outside over lena.
Honestly the video length was gonna make me fast forward but both of your personalities and informative narration kept me in tune! Thank you for this! 💜
Me gustan mucho los nopales. Yo como cada día para el desayuno.
You can used a smaller nife, when you cleaned the nopal.
I would have like to see you use them in a dish,,very interesting vlog👍🤗
I never had nopales before like for real though. I don't even know how that taste like. 😂😂
Kind.of like a thicker green bean
Listening to you talk about family and watching you prep your ingredients makes me feel like I'm at my Tia's house. Most of my tias never cook but still, LOL
Thank you for mentioning the option to freeze. My mom gives me nopales and I always feel guilty when I can’t finish them, yet I love them!
Your so awesome thank you for your videos. My parents were Mexican but died when I was at a young age and I've always wanted to know how to straight from our own yard.
You get to a point in your life where you just don't accept hard times anymore .... life changing statement. Thanks ladies... #cookwithlove
I always, love watching you!! Nopales now in my diet! I love slimy okra so I’m sure I’d love this too. Keep creating! Tfs until next time cheers 🥂 I Dios
I wanted to share that by using a Copper pot it helps with the slime problem. If you don't have a Copper pot you can use about 5 very well washed copper pennies. I did not believe was true till I tried it👍😀
Thank you for your video sister! It has legit made get out of bed and get to cooking 🥘 😊 keep up the awesome wholehearted videos🙌
Your relationship is so similar to that of me and my sisters! We love each other and support each other so much! Makes me happy to see siblings just as happy and close as we are ❤️
Steph & Cloud: Recently ordered organic cactus from 2 different companies. One is beginning to bloom; other is firm/beautiful. Both rooting fab. Assuming I can eat them. Would appreciate your knowledge/directions.
You're so smart and crafty. Thank you for the tips. 😉
Thank you for this "how to" video!! I've always wanted to try them but when you've never been shown how to prepare them they are a little intimidating!! All I could imagine was my family walking around sounding like a bunch of cats with furballs because I had left the pokey sticker things on or something stupid like that. I figured that maybe they softened when you cooked them? Kinda the w as y the bones in smoked salmon kinda turn gelatinous and disappear. LOL. SOOOOO glad I waited to try cooking them! AARGH!
I liked how you added the nutritional facts at the end! I remember my Papi cooking nopales growing up in Cali and us having a cactus outside. Me gustava la tuna it produced. I can't believe I found some nopales for sale here in GA. I'm about to cook me up some. And you are way cool. You remind me of home that I miss and of all my primas. Love your canal!
I use a potato peeler to clean the edges. And a round cookie cutter to clean the rest of the nopal. I love to watch your videos so fun.
Never had cactus. Will love to try the "fun" cactus 😂
Omg! This is so amazing! I NEVER knew these were edible or there was a such thing lol. I definitely HAVE to try someday. Also, you and your sister are cute. I wish I could be with my sister everyday but you know we have our different lives. But sisters sure are a blessing💕
I've never had nopales, our oldest son has had them and loves them. A friend of mine when I was a teenager had peyote plant in a planter pot. I didn't believe him that it was edible, he didn't exactly tell me what it was I ate it with him. I'm gonna have to attempt this over the summer. Guess I'm gonna have to get a plant and grow it in my garden if the kids like it.
I’ve never tried them because they look so gross, but my husband loves them. So I will make it.
Yes make them in small pieces add onions,tomatoes,cilantro,avocado,and limon juice over it ..mix it all!!!!
Love ur gum hack💞🌵
LOVE Nopales but I HATE
peeling/cleaning them.
I LOVE the stories about your mom. You talk with so much love about your family!!
Nopales in the backyard!? You a real one
It's definitely a weight lost thank you sisters, siempre me gustan sus videos tienen mi corazón🌹💖
I love eating nopales but didn’t know all the good benefits that comes with it, thanks amiga for 411. 💋🤗
My husband’s mom was a Native American. She would get the nopal and put it on an open flame to burn off the small almost invisible stickers. It works! I also just fry them instead of boiling . Enjoy!
Your feet 😂 👣 When I was a kid, I used to love being barefoot. I would walk to the liquor store across a black top parking lot, a field, another rocky black top 😂 My Brother used to yell at me all the time to put shoes and called me “Chaka” from “Land of the Lost”. from the 70s💀 🙊
I buy the Jarred Napoles and put it in my salad. It's so good. My friend makes it in her stew. 🤤
A perfect way to make nopales and to have the slime not stick at all. Is sauté a your onion and right before they are clear add your nopales close the lid and set it on med to low heat and stir occasionally. The nopales will release the slime and once you don’t see liquid (slime) they are good to go Ofcourse add your seasoning before you turn it off. It works great!
Omg. Looks good. Sounds good. I’m new to this food. I’m trying everything. I will try this next. Lol thanks
Foraging, as a 12 year old, my Bro and I went to Mexico with Dad in a PU, 1968, out int the Oaxaca desert, we stopped 1 evening to camp, Dad saw in the Marcado some pads, it was food, so he took his pocket knife and went cut a couple, sort of cleaned them, took a bite of bread (pan), a bite of cactus, we watched him, does he like it ?? then out it got spot, long story short, we spent hrs. with a tweezer picking tiny tiny thorns from his mouth, we checked next morning, the inside was a sandwich of tiny prickles oouchie. His mouth for a week he would, look something here.
I love to cook .. I learned from my mother and my aunts in the rancho and I must say your recipes are very authentic I love it !
Im mixed,too and a caucasin mother,too .My New Mexican father
Showed me how to cook menudo,green chili,etc. But I learned how to cook with fresh and jarred nipples on my own..tastes like green beans.
"Calm yourself, I know you're excited about that movie still" Lol. Me too. Chris Hemsworth is yummy.
I love you ladies!!!! Your spirits are fun-loving!!!!
Quick tip Steph if you don't already know. You should never scrape off food from your board with the cutting side. It dulls it. Use the top part of the knife so your knife stays sharp. It makes me cringe when someone scrapes there knife (My pet peeve) lol. Take care of your good cooking tools. :)
I live in the country side of mountainous Puerto Rico. My neighbors have a huge cactus tree and I have (more than once) cut the cactus leaves and have made nopales. I had a lot of Mexican friends back in Chicago and I've had experience eating it. I love nopales, but people here don't eat that.
Please let me know how to make Mexican Bean enpandas. My mother made them all the time but I should have written down recipe.? Please help me out. You're an awesome cook. We always had homemade tortillas. Hand made no rolling dough out, all by hands 😊 thank you.
Okay, this looks yummy and all but, how do you season them? Do you just eat them like that? I am so very curious. I recently moved to Texas and Nopales are at every grocery store. I want to try them but, being from England, I am timid and unsure.
When I was an OTR driver I sometimes would sometimes stop along I 35 in Texas and grab some of the ripened fruit. Nothing taste as good as prickly pears ripened on the cactus You had to be careful of the cactus needles and the stains from the fruit.
