I chose this recipe because I remembered nopales from Mexico but had never tried cooking with them. They are a pretty neutral ingredient, so that the salsa and cheese really carry the flavor load. To me, the nopales added a "greeness" to the dish. I did like the texture. I did not care for the salsa mixed in with the eggs, and made these again with the salsa on top. I halved the recipe, but needed two tortillas, probably just a function of the size I had. I think I would probably like some green chiles or green onions mixed into the eggs with the nopales. Thanks for expanding my food experience!
