      ALLERGENS

      ORIGIN

      Produced in Mexico by Azteca, Azteca products were born in 1991 in the south of Mexico City, in one of the areas with the highest production of nopal cactus in Mexico. Every year the company processes about a thousand tons of nopal cactus, and the spines are removed by hand, a traditional process carried out by local people.

      PREPARATION

      Cambray Azteca Nopales are tender, ready-to-use cactus pads, ideal for creating fresh, nutritious traditional Mexican dishes. For a light and authentic lunch, you can use them to prepare a classic ensalada de nopales: drain them, rinse them lightly and mix them with diced tomato, red onion, fresh cilantro and lime juice. Add a pinch of salt and serve with crumbled fresh cheese and warm tortillas for a simple, healthy and flavorful dish.


      For a creative appetizer, Cambray Nopales can be used to fill tasty quesadillas. Simply spread them on a corn tortilla with Oaxaca cheese or another melting cheese, fold the tortilla into a half-moon and heat it on a griddle until golden. Serve with salsa verde or guacamole for an authentic taste of Mexican cuisine that combines tradition and flavor in every bite.
