      Cactus can be a delicious addition to breakfast dishes when prepared correctly. One popular breakfast option is cactus scrambled eggs, where diced cactus pads are sautéed with onions, tomatoes, and spices before being mixed with scrambled eggs. This dish can be served with tortillas and salsa for a tasty and satisfying breakfast.
      Additionally, cactus can be grilled and served as a side dish with breakfast items like eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Grilled cactus has a unique flavor and texture that pairs well with savory breakfast foods.
      Another delicious breakfast option featuring cactus is cactus smoothie bowls, where blended cactus pads are combined with fruits like berries, bananas, and mango for a refreshing and nutritious breakfast treat.
      Overall, cactus can be a versatile and tasty addition to breakfast dishes, bringing a unique flavor and texture to the meal.

      I am an Indian and for a long time in my life I used to believe mexican cuisine equals to cactus. This was way before I even knew that pasta and pizza was from Italy. Nopales used to be like some food of my dream the first continental cuisine I wanted to try.
