    Sorry, I should have put that on there, yes it is cactus. It can be found at most mexican stores either fresh or pre-made and all you have to do is drain and rinse it.

    So when I looked up nopales (nopals), this is what I found:

    "Any of various cacti of the genera Nopalea or Opuntia, including the prickly pear and similar species.
    The fleshy, oval, edible pad of such a cactus."

    Is this what you are talking about?

    Please thank your MIL for sharing all these great recipes.
