NOPALES-STUFFED CHICKEN
Cactus pads, or nopales, have been consumed for generations. Studies suggest that nopales may control blood sugar levels in some people. I think they have a flavor similar to green beans. They are available at most Latin markets and come cleaned to make it much easier to prepare at home.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the stuffing: In a medium saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, cactus, onions, garlic and salt and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables sweat, about 5 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the onions are fully cooked, 5 to 7 minutes longer; set aside.
- For the chicken: Place about 2 tablespoons of the cactus stuffing on one side of each chicken breast. If you have remaining stuffing, reserve it for garnish. Top with the cheese. Using a brush, coat the edges of the chicken breasts with the egg and fold over the chicken to close.
- Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat and add the canola oil. Season the chicken breasts with the salt and pepper. Carefully place each stuffed breast in the hot pan. Cook each side until seared and a nice crust forms, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a sheet pan and bake until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F, about 25 minutes.
- For the sauce: Reduce the heat to low under the saute pan that was used for the chicken. Add the cumin, coriander and paprika and cook, stirring, until toasted, for a minute or two, taking care not to burn the spices-add a little oil to the pan if it looks dry. Add the lime zest and juice and cook, stirring, until the juice has reduced. Very carefully add the tequila; it may ignite, but not for too long. Stir in the chicken stock, salt and pepper; lower the heat and cook until reduced, about 10 minutes.
- Place the chicken in a serving dish, cover with the sauce and garnish with any reserved cactus stuffing and chopped fresh parsley.
TORTILLAS WITH CACTUS AND CHEESE
It's a very simple taco quesadilla that's tangy with a hint of heat. Top with sour cream if you like, but they're great on their own.

Steps:
- Place the whole cactus paddles, onion and garlic in a large pot with water to cover and salt to taste.
- Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes, or until the nopales are tender but still firm.
- Drain and rinse.
- Starting at the wide, curved end, carefully slice each paddle horizontally, as if butterflying a chop for stuffing.
- Do not cut all the way through to the narrow end (the thicker part where the pad is attached to the main plant) but leave approximately 1 1/2" uncut.
- Place a slice of cheese between the two sections and press flat.
- Dredge the paddles in flour.
- Beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks, and fold in the lightly beaten egg yolks.
- Pour enough oil into large skillet so that it comes up at least 1/2 inch.
- Heat the oil until sizzling hot.
- Dip the stuffed nopales in the egg batter to coat and fry in the hot oil until golden brown on each side.
- Serve immediately with red salsa.
