Instructions: Place the nopales in a large pot with salted water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. Place the tomatillos, garlic and chipotles in a blender and puree. In a medium saucepan, saute the onion in the oil until the onion is transparent. Add the puree and the nopales, stir and cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes. Serve hot with white rice, beans and plenty of warm tortillas for making tacos.

Serves 6.
