How to make it

  • Start with about 1/4 cup of water in a pot, add the pork and salt.
  • Simmer on low untl the pork is nearly cooked thru, maybe 30 to 45 minutes.
  • While the pork is cooking, dump the nopales out into a colander and rinse well. Nopales are kinda slimy like okra but the Dona Maria brand are not so bad.
  • Once the pork is nearly cooked, add in the nopales and salsa and simmer another 30 minutes
  • Dig in!
