Eggs with Nopales are a perfect breakfast as they are nutritionally a complete dish. It includes protein from the eggs, fats from the yolk, and fiber from the nopal. You can accompany it with beans and tortillas for a heartier, yet still healthy, breakfast. These Eggs with Nopales are a favorite among those who want to lead a healthy lifestyle; the nopal is endemic to Mexico and among its benefits are proteins, calcium, iron, vitamins A and B, potassium, and fiber. On the other hand, they are an excellent food for people suffering from diabetes or high cholesterol, and they also help with gastrointestinal issues and osteoporosis. Best of all, they are very versatile and can be consumed grilled, sautéed, or boiled.
