Fresh ideas for your table
Quick nopalitos recipes
Start with fresh R&P nopalitos. Rinse diced nopalitos, simmer in water until tender (about 15–20 minutes), then drain well. Use the cooked nopalitos in these easy recipes.
Nopalitos with eggs
Sauté ¼ cup chopped onion in a little oil. Add 1 cup cooked, drained nopalitos, then stir in 4 beaten eggs. Cook until the eggs are set and serve with warm tortillas.
Easy nopalitos tacos
Sauté 2 cups cooked, drained nopalitos with sliced onion and a pinch of oregano for 5 minutes. Spoon into warm corn tortillas and top with salsa, avocado and lime.
Nopalitos quesadillas
Fill 4 tortillas with melting cheese and 1 cup cooked, well-drained nopalitos. Fold and toast on a skillet until golden and the cheese melts. Serve with your favorite salsa.
Banana leaf: wrap, cook & serve
Rinse the leaves and pat dry. Soften in hot water until flexible, then trim to size. Use as a wrapper or serving liner; remove the leaf before eating.
Traditional tamales
Spread prepared tamal masa on a softened leaf. Add cooked chicken with salsa or beans and cheese, fold into a packet and steam using your favorite tamal recipe until the masa is firm and releases from the leaf.
Citrus fish packets
Place a fish fillet on a softened leaf with tomato, onion, lime juice and a little olive oil. Fold closed, place in a baking dish and bake until the fish is fully cooked. Open carefully to release steam.
Rice & vegetable bundles
Spoon cooked rice and sautéed vegetables onto softened leaves. Fold into small bundles and steam until hot throughout. Unwrap and enjoy as a side dish.
A natural serving touch
Line platters or baskets with clean banana leaves for tamales, rice, grilled vegetables or fruit. Cut smaller pieces to give individual plates a traditional presentation.
