Steps
- 1. Heat water with onion and garlic5 min
Fill a saucepan halfway with water, add 1 slice of onion, the garlic cloves, and a little salt, and heat over low to medium heat.
- 2. Chop and cook the nopales10 min
Meanwhile, chop the nopales into small cubes, then add them to the pot with the hot water, cover it, and let it cook.
- 3. Chop the vegetables6 min
Now chop the half onion and the tomato—first remove the seeds from the tomato—and the chili: you can remove the veins and seeds, or leave them in if you prefer it spicy. Make sure the vegetables are finely diced.
- 4. Make the vegetable salad3 min
Now pour the chopped vegetables into a deep bowl, then finely chop the cilantro and add it to the vegetables.
- 5. Stop cooking the nopales3 min
At this point, the nopales are already cooked, so we’ll pour them into a colander to rinse them with cold water.
- 6. Mix all the ingredients3 min
After draining them, add them to the plate with the chopped vegetables, season with a little salt and pepper, and then stir all the ingredients together.
- 7. Ready to serve
Finally, serve the salad on the tostadas and top with a few pieces of panela cheese.
