Ingredients

  • 1 (24 ounce) jar cactus pieces
  • 2 large tomatoes
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 2 jalapenos (depends on your taste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 lb queso fresco (mexican cheese)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh garlic

Method

  • Rinse cactus well under cold water. Cut the already sliced cactus into small pieces. The cactus also has a serrano in the jar, mince that also.
  • Dice tomatoes, onion, jalapenos (I leave the seeds in, but you can take seeds out) and cilantro. In a large bowl mix all ingredients together, add minced garlic and salt to taste. Crumble Queso Fresco into the mix and add lemon juice. You may want to add a little lemon juice at a time and mix and taste until it is to your liking.
