Guest guest Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Donna, I finally got around to trying this -- it's WONDERFUL!!!! So fresh and almost sweet. I found nopales in a jar at Wal-mart (my Wal-mart carries a lot of Mexican groceries). I'm serving it tonight with cheese and spinach enchiladas, having my non-veg neighbor over. She's great, always willing to be my guinea pig Audrey S.
