recipe is up above along with the best way i could explain how it tastes...

i garuntee anyone who ate it that likes mexican food would love it.

if you have an authentic mexican resturant around you (you'll know when the name of the place is spanish, and all tha tworks there is mexican/spanish people and none of them speak english too well lol) go ask for nopales... there are two kinds, cactus and bean soup and the better kind, which is what you see in the pic above, ask for flour tortilla's and refried beans with it...
