welcome to Shell Nopal

Jan 27, 2022

My crew loves tacos and chimichangas and about everything you can order from our local El Nopal restaurant. But tonight… we had Shell Nopal!

I only made two of these because I was afraid they’d be awful and tacos would be the winner. The last thing I wanted to do was wrap all the ingredients up in something to throw in the trash.

Believe it or not — they were really good. Now, don’t ask me what it is because it has no name. I only wanted to see if I could fry the huge flour tortillas that Walmart substituted for my smaller street taco sized ones. I consider any edible food I prepare a win.

TIL (Today I Learned): “Nopal” is a cactus that bugs eat.
