Spicy Nopal

Nopal is a type of cactus native to Mexico. Its green, pad-like stems, known as ‘nopales,’ are adorned with spines, requiring careful preparation before consumption. Nopales have a slightly tangy flavor, often compared to green beans or bell peppers. During the drying process, the nopal’s natural tanginess intensifies, while much of the nopal’s nutritional value, including fiber and vitamins, is retained, offering a chewy, jerky-like texture. The dried nopal from Chuza is seasoned with Chuza’s signature chili powder to create the perfect blend of spicy tanginess.
