  • For the tinga. Blend the tomato along with the chipotle pepper, onion, garlic, and water for 3 minutes.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and pour in Oli de Nutrioli® Olive Oil ideal for cooking, add the onion and fry for 2 minutes or until the onion is transparent, add the drained tuna and fry for 2 more minutes, add the blended sauce, season with salt and pepper, and cook on medium-low heat until about 80% of the cooking liquid evaporates, approximately 8 minutes. Cool slightly and set aside until use.
  • Flavor the oil, in a bowl, mix Oli de Nutrioli® Olive Oil ideal for cooking, oregano, apple cider vinegar, and salt.
  • Open the nopal in half horizontally using a knife. Place the base of the nopal brushed with oregano oil on a sheet of aluminum foil, fill with the tuna tinga, close with the other half of the nopal and finish brushing. Wrap in an envelope shape. Repeat until all the nopales are used.
  • Cook over medium heat on a hot comal for 5 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.
  • Remove the nopales from the aluminum foil, decorate by tying each piece of nopal in the middle with a strip of banana leaf or scallion. Serve with grilled onions and fried chiles.
