Beef and Cactus Tacos

Step 1

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the 1 lb beef sirloin and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and the 1 cup nopales. Cook over medium-high until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.

Step 3

Warm the 8 corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable, about 30 seconds per side.

Step 4

Fill each tortilla with the cooked beef and nopales. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and red onion.

Step 5

Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the tacos. Add chopped cilantro or hot sauce if you like.
