A Mexican specialty, nopalitos' appeal has spread beyond the country's borders. The taste is slightly tart, with a consistency similar to that of green beans. Nopalitos are a staple during Lent and are typically prepared alone or with ground shrimp patties in a red chile sauce. Also add to salads or mix with chopped onions, tomatoes, queso rancherito, and serve cold as a side dish. Rinse well before adding to recipes.
