From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 4
 

Ingredients:

1 pound cleaned cactus pads
1/2 pound tomatillos
1 small white onion
2 cloves garlic
2 large poblano peppers
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 Tablespoons cilantro
 

Preparation:

Prepare the cactus pads as described in the preparation section above. Once you have removed the needles, nodules and thoroughly washed the pads, grill for about 7 minutes on each side. Slice the grilled pads into strips. Place tomatillos, cubed onions and garlic in a baking dish, then cook in a 450-degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Roast poblanos on grill or under the broiler, then peel them and remove the seeds. Place all ingredients in a blender and mix until well chopped. A little water may be needed to moisten the salsa. Serve chilled with chips or use to season tacos, burritos or other Mexican dishes.
