You have two options: The ones that come in a jar (already peeled and cut and boiled) or the raw ones. Raw ones involve you need to grab a knife and shave (with a knife) the prickles off the skin. Then cut them in stripes and boil them with EPAZOTE and salt. Really easy. (ingredients in CAPS) First you need to find NOPALES.
