ingredients
2 cups rinsed and drained strips of cactus (nopalitos)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 large white onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 corn tortillas (5- to 6-inch size)
crumbled queso fresco (fresh Mexican cheese)
fresh salsa, purchased or homemade
directions
Cut the cactus strips into 1/4-inch dice and set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat the oil and cook the onion, stirring, until it starts to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the reserved diced cactus and heat through completely. Set aside.
Heat a small nonstick skillet and warm the tortillas, 1 at a time, until soft and pliable.
To assemble, put a portion of the cactus filling on half of each warm tortilla. Top with queso fresco and salsa. Fold in half and serve at once.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
