Authentic Cactus Salad
Sliced Mexican Green Cactus is a kitchen staple in authentic Mexican cooking. You will find it in every kitchen, taqueria and restaurant across Mexico. Cactus is used to top just about everything from quesadillas, tacos and tostadas to even scrambled eggs. Our favourite way to eat cactus though has to be the fresh, authentic cactus salads you will find on the streets in Mexico.
In our version the Authentic Cactus Salad is wrapped up in warmed Street Taco wraps and topped with our Jalapeño and Pineapple for a fresh burst of flavour.
We recommend serving our Authentic Cactus Salad as a fresh and light starter with Vegetarian Quesadillas which are stuffed with our smoky chipotle Refried Beans as the main or keep with the street food theme and serve with Chipotle Chicken Tacos.
