1. Prepare the cactus- remove thorns by cutting off the thick edges of the cactus and then using a spoon to scrape off the thorns (see video for details). When thorns from one paddle are removed place in a bowl of water while removing from rest of paddles. Run your hands along the paddle to make sure all thorns are removed, and then chop or dice into bite size pieces. Set aside.
2. Put pork in Dutch oven or nonstick stockpot and turn heat to high. Add water and salt. Heat until almost all of the water has evaporated, stirring occasionally. Once the water evaporates, add 2 tbsp of oil and stir occasionally to lightly sear the pork pieces.
3. While the pork is cooking, in a separate pot, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium-high heat and add cactus and one of the quarters of the onion. Stir to combine and continue cooking until cactus is a pale green- about 10 minutes.
4. If using fresh tomatoes, broil the tomatoes and the remaining half of the onion on high for 5-8 minutes per side. Set aside to cool slightly. If using canned tomatoes, broil the onion alone until charred.

How To Make Nopales Con Huevo Mexican Made Meatless™

1. In a large pan heat the oil then add the onion and saute until softened. Next, add the serrano and saute for 3 minutes while stirring constantly. Next, add the nopales and garlic and the salt (I used about ½ a teaspoon), and mix until well combined. Saute until the nopales have softened and released all of their viscous liquid, continue to cook until that liquid cooks off. Then add the tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes. Stir to prevent burning. Then add the eggs and cook until the eggs are cooked to your desired texture.
2. Serve with warm tortillas on the side and if desired some refried beans, your favorite salsa, and avocado slices. You could also use it as a stuffing for gorditas or to make breakfast burritos. Enjoy!
