Nopal tortillas are not only easy to make, they are simply delicious. Grab a bag of fresh nopales, a bunch of cilantro and corn flour, and you are set to make these vibrant nopal tortillas. I like to serve mine warm with refried beans and a sprinkle of cheese.

Ingredients

1 medium nopal pad, needles/thorns removed and sliced
1 cup water
1/4 cup cilantro, washed and chopped
2 cups corn flour for tortillas
1/4 tablespoon of salt

Directions

1

To a blender add sliced nopal, water and cilantro; blend until smooth.
2

In a bowl, combine corn flour, salt and nopal water.
3

Knead to form a smooth dough.
4

Divide dough into 16 portions and roll into smooth balls.
5

Place one at a time onto a tortilla press lined with plastic film or plastic bag, press firmly.
6

Cook on a preheated comal or grill for two minutes on each side.
7

Serve warm.

Use scissors to cut alongside Ziploc bag to create a foldable plastic liner for your tortilla press.
Freeze leftover tortillas wrapped in plastic wrap to use at a later day.
