This has become a regular dish at my house. I never dreamed it, no, not in my wildest!

Anyone care for the microwave recipe?
4 c. cactus strips cooked in 1 c. water for 12 mins. tightly covered with plastic wrap in microwave. (Stirring half-way through cooking time produces more uniform cooking.)
Strain the cooked cactus. Heat 2 tbsp. oil for 1 min. Add 1 c. tomato puree, 2 chopped chipotle peppers (canned) in adobe sauce, 1 cube of bullion and cactus. Cook for 3 mins. Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro on finished product. Great with fresh corn tortillas!
Gotta keep it pretty mild for me. So, I think I shall pass on this...but will pass on the info to my sweetie and my son-in-law.....both love mouth-blistering spicy food. (Okay - well it's mouth blistering in my mind anyway!!)
