Hello @vegansilverstack. I love nopales! They are very versatile and nutritious. Though I don't grow my own, they are very plentiful in most Latino groceries. You might like this recipe that I developed and posted on my blog which featured nopales (https://www.atmemestable.com/southwestern-stuffed-sweet-potato/). Also, have you made juice or jelly out of the prickly pear of the cactus? Absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing your post. I'm definitely going to try cooking nopales this way.
