Burritos

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    2 small pieces of cactus thinly sliced
    1 poblano pepper finely diced
    1 small onion finely diced
    2-3 green onions finely diced
    1 bell pepper finely diced
    1/2 cup cilantro diced
    2-3 medium tomatoes
    chili powder, garlic, salt, paprika, pepper as desired
    tortillas

Directions:

Cactus leaves (prickly pear cactus) are available in most grocery stores particularly stores and produce stands in highly hispanic areas - I buy mine from a Mexican produce truck in my area.  They are also available in a jar in the mexican part of the store - called nopalitos.

Heat all incredients in a large skillet until the peppers and cactus are darker green season to taste.  Spoon over hot tortillas.  I use fresh tomatoes and chop them up finely - this makes a nice sauce especially with mild chili powder.

How do you cut up a cactus? I see them in the store and think Mmmmm. Pointy. Do you skin them, or slice them in half the thin way, or what?
