    Actually that is what I use, just make sure to rinse & them off good before you use them in this recipe. I have a recipe on here for a tamale filling w/nopales.

    If I were to buy freshly cubed nopales, would that be fine in this recipe, or would it need any special pre-preparation, such as blanching, boiling or sauteing? (Last year I'd wanted to make tamales with nopalitos, green chile & cheese as a filling - what do you think of that idea?) ~ Thanks!
