How to make it
- 1. In a 10-12 inch skillet, cook cactus pieces, pepper and onion in the butter until the onion is tender but not brown.
- 2. In a bowl, beat the eggs, milk (beer), salt and pepper, jalapeno, cilantro and olives with a whisk.
- 3. Pour the egg mixture over the cactus pieces and onion in the skillet. Cook without stirring over low heat until the eggs start to set on the bottom and sides of the skillet.
- 4. Lift and fold the eggs with a spatula so that the uncooked part runs to the bottom of the skillet. Continue lifting and folding about 5 minutes more or until the eggs are set and cooked through but still glossy and moist. Serve hot.
- This is served with the ubiquitous tortillas & frijoles and a few strips of thick bacon or some carnitas and topped with some mild, chunky salsa or guacamole. Maybe, another tequila Bloody Marry; You can’t walk on one leg.
