Brings back memories of my father. We use to go out in the desert to pick nopales and then he would dethorn them in his shed for our dinner. Mom would prepare shrimp patties in red chili and nopalitos with beans de la oya.Yum! I miss him so much. Fortunately I still have mom, 106 yrs old. Thank you for your videos.
I love nopalitos!! They remind me of my grandmother. She made them for us during lent. So delicious!! I love mine scrambled with onions and eggs...yum!
The love between you sisters is what made me start watching ; the excellent cooking and nutritional tips ate what made me subscribe! You guys have converted this old Black women to appreciate your wonderful cuisine. I was already addicted to your Artisans work, the spices and beautiful people!
I just harvested my first batch of paddles, and following your directions made some awesome Nopales! Thank you! Especially for all the nutritional info at the end!
I enjoyed you and our sisters talk, on how you love having each other around and that little talk. Makes me think of me and my sister. She’s my best friend.
I've never had nopales... One day I might try them. I used to have a lot of nopales growing wild in my yard but I didn't know they were food so I had the yard guys cut them down. Also, I love the relationship that you and your sister have. Y'all are both so fortunate to have that bond. Happy Mother's Day. 💗💗💗
Did not know about nopales until I attended a cooking school in Mexico a few years ago. Now I seek them out and have even bought them at the large market in Houston. LOVE them in tacos. Loved driving by the huge fields of them in Mexico...so pretty and green. I loved watching the ladies cleaning them in the markets...made quick and easy work of it..I'm sure they have been doing it for a long time. Love your channel...just found it. I may be on my computer for days now.
Thank you SO MUCH for showing me how to clean these! My neighbor asked me for some of my cactus a few years ago. She is Mexican! I told her to get all she wanted. lol
I wanted to see your procedure for cooking nopales. I am now captivated because of your sincerity and the relationship you have with your friend…. Awesome!!! New subscriber!!!
I've only had nopales on top of a grilled skirt steak I think it was at a Taqueria a few times but I absolutely loved it! I've never cooked my own but I'm so glad you know how to make them not slimy. I can't deal with the slimy either. We have the same battle in Texas with okra
Your relationship is so similar to that of me and my sisters! We love each other and support each other so much! Makes me happy to see siblings just as happy and close as we are ❤️
Nevaeh Celes , yes they are in the same aisle you’d buy clothes hangers. They also sell them in craft aisles but oddly are sometimes more expensive there.
I just found your channel - I don't know much about Mexican food but I love your content - you're funny and so is your co-host. Keep up the great work!
Your instructions made it easy to clean the thorns off. I put plastic wrap on the counter 1st so it would be easier clean up after. Very gently lifted and folded the plastic wrap for clean up
I just tried cooking a single pad for my first time! I sauteed them with a little olive oil, sea salt, and chopped onion and garlic, I was using an instant pot so I did about 5 minutes on ~300 F while I stirred it, then once the onions were turning translucent I added a little water, turned the heat down to ~200 F and put a lid on and let them steam for another 15 minutes, they came out delicious! To me they taste like more flavorful green beans. I didn't mind the tiny bit of slime but I see some are using copper, others using tomatillo husks to absorb the excess slime. I'll experiment pressure cooking these as well, that should be able to cut the cooking time down to ~5 minutes or so. Thanks for all the tips!
Honestly the video length was gonna make me fast forward but both of your personalities and informative narration kept me in tune! Thank you for this! 💜
Your so awesome thank you for your videos. My parents were Mexican but died when I was at a young age and I've always wanted to know how to straight from our own yard.
Listening to you talk about family and watching you prep your ingredients makes me feel like I'm at my Tia's house. Most of my tias never cook but still, LOL
My husbands family makes theirs almost like a pico. With onions, cilantro, jalapeños, and sometimes tomato. They usually eat it on tostadas but I really like it on tacos!
You’re brave girl,I have to wear gloves, use tongs anything to keep me from getting poked cuz it hurts!!! Especially the tiny ones that are almost invisible and impossible to get out!! Anyway my mami taught me to sauté them without oil and chopped onions and salt. Super tasty and easy to do. We eat them as a side, along with frijoles and arroz!! Mmmmmm
Thanks! I liked your video, I boiled nopales yesterday for the first time because I want to eat healthier. I goggled “how to boil nopalitos” and it said to rinse them with warm water 24:53 before boiling them to remove the slime, I only boiled a pound, I warmed the water with just a little bit of salt I added the nopalitos and I only cooked them for 10 minutes extra after boiling, so a total of 15 min, then I rinsed them again with warm water and there was no more slime. I think that by cooking them 35 minutes then rinsing them in the cold water and cooking them another 35 minutes😢😢😢😢 you are loosing all the nutrients from the nopalitos. I grew up in México in a city with an elevation of almost 5000 ft above see level, so everything takes longer to cook, now I’m at an elevation of less than 1000 ft above see level, so everything cooks faster, you maybe at a higher elevation and that’s why you have to cooked them for much longer? Please, share your hard times here and there, because someone maybe going through a very hard season in their lives and they maybe encouraged by you 👍🏻
Hi just wanna let you know i am berrry thankful to have come across your channel thank you for teaching me how to cook tasty foods and i love your chatting😘 honestly thank you for showing me a path of better eating my man is going to be happy
Could you do a video maybe one day of your most used kitchen tools or your fave tools for this type of cooking? I would love to get a beginners list of things that I would not be able to do without in a Mexican food prep kitchen. I already have my grannies molcajete and a tortilla press and a few other things but I feel like I would like to have some more guidance. Anyway, just an idea. Our lives are so busy and I already appreciate all that your videos bring to us . I take notes when I watch your videos! You share so much information! Thanks for all you do! AND your sister to!! Lots of love from Texas!❤️
My husband is just like your mom. He grew a nopal plant out of a nopal I bought from the store. He let it sit out for a few days and then plant it. Now I have a plant as big as yours. I only cut a couple to let it grow.
Hi 👋🙋♀️ I’ve never heard of this recipe before but it looks very interesting and healthy. Just wanted to wish you, your beautiful mom and mother in law a very Happy Mother’s Day. I’m a mother of eight and grandmother of ten lol. I love your channel, I watch you everyday even when I’m on my treadmill lol. Your spinach tortillas is one of my favorites. Keep up the great work you’re doing. Have a blessed day and God bless you and your beautiful family. 👵🏻👩🍳💐🙋♀️👏🏻💃🏼🙏🐶❤️🐶
I miss nopales. My Abuelita used to make it when she was still with us. I live in Hawaii and dont know if the cactus that grows here is the same kind. I tried the bottled one and I didnt like it. And I can't stomach nopales is slimy too. Thanks for making this video!
Ooh which island I think Oahu is able to host it but I would definitely think the big island does. Hawai’i island had more dryer climate from what I remember
I've never had nopales, our oldest son has had them and loves them. A friend of mine when I was a teenager had peyote plant in a planter pot. I didn't believe him that it was edible, he didn't exactly tell me what it was I ate it with him. I'm gonna have to attempt this over the summer. Guess I'm gonna have to get a plant and grow it in my garden if the kids like it.
I liked how you added the nutritional facts at the end! I remember my Papi cooking nopales growing up in Cali and us having a cactus outside. Me gustava la tuna it produced. I can't believe I found some nopales for sale here in GA. I'm about to cook me up some. And you are way cool. You remind me of home that I miss and of all my primas. Love your canal!
I love watching yall! I found your channel when I was looking for ways to make tamales. Funny that my granddaughter has been asking me to find out how to eat cactus. Now you are making this. Thank you!!!
In my hunny's rancho we call the big dull colored nopales pencas. We cut up some fresh nopales, tomato, oni on, and chile de arbol and put all that in the penca and cook it outside over lena.
Thank you for showing me how to do this. This felt like I had family members showing me how to cook. I love that feeling thank you for sharing this. You and the other person in this are so funny
Also, used to think the thin, younger looking cactus weren’t the best. Just thought they didn’t look hearty enough. Thanks for the lesson. Although I’m Mexican American, we didn’t often eat them and when we did, they were the ones from a jar.😟 Wish my mom had grown an edible nopal plant. Both my parents liked nopales. Had they known of the health benefits of this plant food, they might have prevented some of their health issues (diabetes).
When we were kids, my brother fell into a huge cactus. Poor thing had the spinas everywhere. Grandpa grabbed hit duct tape. Worked like a charm. So, use duct tape for the thorns.
I put nopal and roasted corn in my chili. I hold the end with a towel and scrape it with a flat knife. They clean up really quick. I like the "slime". It thickens the chili.
This was very interesting to watch! A labor of love preparing these .My daughter heard you voice from the other room and came in to see if you were live..Sara Janes Journey has watched you from the time you had about 1,000 followers..Look at you now! 💚
You have a beautiful family mama Dede. I thank you both for the kindness you have shared with me. I want to wish you a beautiful mother's day and thank you for honoring us with Sara Jane's Journey. ❤️
Brilliant. Thank you for sharing this valuable information! Especially about peyote since I want to forage and had no idea these could be mixed up...😂🤣!!! I can’t handle the slimy nopales either-if I keep diced nopales in the fridge longer than 3 days there’s no way to eliminate the slimy; it comes out of the fridge covered and nothing will eliminate it. It also doesn’t work to freeze it to avoid that-still slimy. But slimy nopales still works in quiche or a frittata. If you’ve cooked up a slimy mess add eggs / jalapeño / cheese / onion and act like you did it on purpose, no slime at all out of the onion.
I always, love watching you!! Nopales now in my diet! I love slimy okra so I’m sure I’d love this too. Keep creating! Tfs until next time cheers 🥂 I Dios
Omg! This is so amazing! I NEVER knew these were edible or there was a such thing lol. I definitely HAVE to try someday. Also, you and your sister are cute. I wish I could be with my sister everyday but you know we have our different lives. But sisters sure are a blessing💕
I've seen these grilled, fryed, pan seared, in soups, in tacos. Aloe vera juice is my favorite. I am tempted to try these. I love Aloe on my hair and skin too. I would also love to try that red cactus 🌵 Sonoma juice, or peyote. Putting it on the bucket list. I'm also curious can someone eat the dry looking cactus from a house plant, like if they were on a starving reality t.v. show like desafio the box, I keep staring at them, & I keep wondering why the contestants won't eat them.
Thank you for this "how to" video!! I've always wanted to try them but when you've never been shown how to prepare them they are a little intimidating!! All I could imagine was my family walking around sounding like a bunch of cats with furballs because I had left the pokey sticker things on or something stupid like that. I figured that maybe they softened when you cooked them? Kinda the w as y the bones in smoked salmon kinda turn gelatinous and disappear. LOL. SOOOOO glad I waited to try cooking them! AARGH!
My technique has always been, I open the can and rinse them in water, then dump them into my dish. They are great in egg bakes. I have picked the pears, but the leaves have always scared me a little.
I live in the country side of mountainous Puerto Rico. My neighbors have a huge cactus tree and I have (more than once) cut the cactus leaves and have made nopales. I had a lot of Mexican friends back in Chicago and I've had experience eating it. I love nopales, but people here don't eat that.
Brings back memories of my father. We use to go out in the desert to pick nopales and then he would dethorn them in his shed for our dinner. Mom would prepare shrimp patties in red chili and nopalitos with beans de la oya.Yum!
I miss him so much. Fortunately I still have mom, 106 yrs old.
Thank you for your videos.
106!!! God bless her and you all. Give her a hug from me, I lost my Mom14 months ago at 88. Happy Mother’s Day
to all mothers
106??? Wild
Wish you would share your mom’s recipe….sounds sooooooo good😊
Okayeat
I love nopales! My family thinks I'm crazy but they're so good when they're cooked with onions! I'm really loving your channel.
What do they taste like??
Like a better tasting green bean
I cooked them for the first time but I didn't know how to get rid of the slippery slime. I baked two another time but it was too dry.
Okra
I love nopalitos!! They remind me of my grandmother. She made them for us during lent. So delicious!! I love mine scrambled with onions and eggs...yum!
The love between you sisters is what made me start watching ; the excellent cooking and nutritional tips ate what made me subscribe! You guys have converted this old Black women to appreciate your wonderful cuisine. I was already addicted to your Artisans work, the spices and beautiful people!
Thank you, Queen, I appreciate you spending time us ladies!! Black love, Brown pride❤️
What you said! 😀❤️….Another old black woman converted! 😀❤️
I love grilling nopales! When making carne asada throw some on the gril and they are bomb in a taco con su salsita🤤🤤
I just harvested my first batch of paddles, and following your directions made some awesome Nopales! Thank you! Especially for all the nutritional info at the end!
“Ya vez? Por pendeja!” 😂🤷🏻♀️ I can close my eyes and hear my mom saying it now LOL.
I enjoyed you and our sisters talk, on how you love having each other around and that little talk. Makes me think of me and my sister. She’s my best friend.
I was just thinking that was such a special part of the channel.
I've never had nopales... One day I might try them. I used to have a lot of nopales growing wild in my yard but I didn't know they were food so I had the yard guys cut them down. Also, I love the relationship that you and your sister have. Y'all are both so fortunate to have that bond. Happy Mother's Day. 💗💗💗
The best Chili Verde is made with Nopales, along with pork, Tomatillo's, Anaheim peppers, onions, garlic, jalapeno's, cilantro and salt.
Yum!!
Ohhhhhh my goodness my mouth watered reading this comment
Everyone different but noples do not different haha

I LOVE the stories about your mom. You talk with so much love about your family!!
You get to a point in your life where you just don't accept hard times anymore .... life changing statement. Thanks ladies... #cookwithlove
My husband uses a spoon to scrap the spinas. I love them !!
I love listening to your stories. My mom would make nopales. But I use to hate them. And now I love them.
I love to cook .. I learned from my mother and my aunts in the rancho and I must say your recipes are very authentic I love it !
Thank you SO MUCH for showing me how to clean these! My neighbor asked me for some of my cactus a few years ago. She is Mexican! I told her to get all she wanted. lol
I wanted to see your procedure for cooking nopales. I am now captivated because of your sincerity and the relationship you have with your friend…. Awesome!!! New subscriber!!!
Thanks! Nopales are my mom's favorite, especially with some eggs and beans for breakfast 😁👍 thank you!! ♥️
Wow! I didn’t know peyote was a type of cactus. Always thought it was a kind of mushroom.
I use a potato peeler to clean the edges. And a round cookie cutter to clean the rest of the nopal. I love to watch your videos so fun.
I've only had nopales on top of a grilled skirt steak I think it was at a Taqueria a few times but I absolutely loved it! I've never cooked my own but I'm so glad you know how to make them not slimy. I can't deal with the slimy either. We have the same battle in Texas with okra
Your relationship is so similar to that of me and my sisters! We love each other and support each other so much! Makes me happy to see siblings just as happy and close as we are ❤️
CLOTHES PIN! CLOTHES PIN! That’s what we use to not get thorns while cutting nopales. 🤓
how
jackie biggs you use the cloth pins to hold the cactus paddle, like a clip.
Lol, I was thinking same thing. I grew up seeing my mom and neighbor would cut the nopales.
Marigold Russell do they even sell those now own days?
Nevaeh Celes , yes they are in the same aisle you’d buy clothes hangers. They also sell them in craft aisles but oddly are sometimes more expensive there.
I just found your channel - I don't know much about Mexican food but I love your content - you're funny and so is your co-host. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for mentioning the option to freeze. My mom gives me nopales and I always feel guilty when I can’t finish them, yet I love them!
Thank you! I'm mixed and grew up with a Caucasian mom so no one taught me how to prepare nopales so they scared me until now 😂
Matt D mixed with what?
@@Bmedina29 European and European

We also add avocado slices, jalapeños and queso panela . Plus the pico now I gotta make em😋
Listening to you talk about family and watching you prep your ingredients makes me feel like I'm at my Tia's house. Most of my tias never cook but still, LOL
We grill them and they come out great.
With cheese in between 2 nopales
My husbands family makes theirs almost like a pico. With onions, cilantro, jalapeños, and sometimes tomato. They usually eat it on tostadas but I really like it on tacos!
Yes! Add avocado
I've always wanted to know how to make nopales with out the slim Thanks Steph sending love to you all from one of your Bells

My family loves nopales... My mom is kind enough to prepare them for us.
I love nopales if you are trying to lose weight it’s a great meal bulker. Paired with fried fish is my favorite low calorie meal.
My husband is just like your mom. He grew a nopal plant out of a nopal I bought from the store. He let it sit out for a few days and then plant it. Now I have a plant as big as yours. I only cut a couple to let it grow.

Just subscribed to your channel. I turned my Korean wife to nopales and loves them. Now, she wants to learn how to cook them.

Never had cactus. Will love to try the "fun" cactus 😂
Good eats. You sisters are awesome. I enjoy watching your cooking videos.
You're so smart and crafty. Thank you for the tips. 😉
My hubby cut some today and said bring the tablet and put your friend on. He was talking about you girl. Lol.
I'm a super white guy but my wife is mexican/Portican and she introduced me to nopales and street tacos and I freaking love them!!
I love watching yall! I found your channel when I was looking for ways to make tamales. Funny that my granddaughter has been asking me to find out how to eat cactus. Now you are making this. Thank you!!!

“The dark green are not for you” lmao I love it
It's definitely a weight lost thank you sisters, siempre me gustan sus videos tienen mi corazón🌹💖
Your videos are so fun and educational I love that!
I think I'd use a large fork or tongs to hold the cactus "leaf" so as not to get scratched up! Thanks for the video!
Thank you for showing me how to do this. This felt like I had family members showing me how to cook. I love that feeling thank you for sharing this. You and the other person in this are so funny
I use a veggie peeler after trimming edges...tks for the recipe
Also, used to think the thin, younger looking cactus weren’t the best. Just thought they didn’t look hearty enough. Thanks for the lesson. Although I’m Mexican American, we didn’t often eat them and when we did, they were the ones from a jar.😟 Wish my mom had grown an edible nopal plant. Both my parents liked nopales.

Aw when I was little my two favorite things to eat that my abuelita would make was nopales and tortillas a mano 😍
We love how you say “that’s not for you”.
and we pay attention.
I buy the Jarred Napoles and put it in my salad. It's so good. My friend makes it in her stew. 🤤
When we were kids, my brother fell into a huge cactus. Poor thing had the spinas everywhere. Grandpa grabbed hit duct tape. Worked like a charm. So, use duct tape for the thorns.
Nopales in the backyard!? You a real one
I put nopal and roasted corn in my chili. I hold the end with a towel and scrape it with a flat knife. They clean up really quick. I like the "slime". It thickens the chili.
Love listening to you both it's like me and my cousin talking. Enjoyed this. 😀
I got nopales yesterday from the market and making them tonight. I've never had them before, thank you!😍
This was very interesting to watch! A labor of love preparing these .My daughter heard you voice from the other room and came in to see if you were live..Sara Janes Journey has watched you from the time you had about 1,000 followers..Look at you now! 💚

we all love nopales, we add a clove fo garlic when cooking. thank you good information for those who do not know what to do with them
“If they’re dull green-they’re not for you” 😅😅
Nopales is food of the Gods. This is one of the reasons I'm still here in California. Thanks for this video.
I've seen these grilled, fryed, pan seared, in soups, in tacos. Aloe vera juice is my favorite. I am tempted to try these. I love Aloe on my hair and skin too.

We have nopalez alot in the summer. I didn’t know you could make them less slimy. I will try it next time.
I would have like to see you use them in a dish,,very interesting vlog👍🤗
This was really helpful I'm looking forward to do some of your recipes
My technique has always been, I open the can and rinse them in water, then dump them into my dish. They are great in egg bakes. I have picked the pears, but the leaves have always scared me a little.
I love eating nopales but didn’t know all the good benefits that comes with it, thanks amiga for 411. 💋🤗
Add love young lady's cooking. Young n knows how to cook. Oh I'm married to an asian man to. 36 yr this sept.
Never had them. Always wanted to try them. Now I know how to do it. Thank you! BTW you and your sister have the best laugh!
You ladies have me missing El Paso in a very big way. Food is just not the same anywhere else.
Omg. Looks good. Sounds good. I’m new to this food. I’m trying everything. I will try this next. Lol thanks
I live in the country side of mountainous Puerto Rico. My neighbors have a huge cactus tree and I have (more than once) cut the cactus leaves and have made nopales. I had a lot of Mexican friends back in Chicago and I've had experience eating it. I love nopales, but people here don't eat that.
Just love your channel you make my day!💕
