Method

1. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the onion and chilli for 3 min, then add the garlic for 30 seconds.
2. Add the tomato and nopales and cook for 4 min, until the tomato softens and any liquid evaporates. Season.
3. Pour in the eggs and stir slowly with a spatula for 2–3 min, until just set but still soft.
4. Serve with warm tortillas, refried beans and salsa.

Tips

• Jarred nopales are often salty; rinse them well and taste before seasoning.
