How to cook cactus with mexican chorizo

In small skillet, add chipotle, chile de árbol, jalapeño, garlic, tomatoes & olive oil over medium heat. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning often so the dried chiles and garlic does not burn.

To that same pan, add 1/2 cup of water and cook for another 5 minutes to soften the dried peppers a little more. Transfer to blender, add the bouillon and blend on high until smooth, set aside.

Add the chorizo to a large skillet over heat to medium. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon. Add the onions and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes.

Add the nopalitos and salsa fom blender. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

Taste for salt and add a little fresh cracked pepper. Serve as is with rice, beans and warm tortillas. Or top with egg and salsa as pictured. Yields 6 servings.
