Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the garlic, serrano chili, and tomatillo for 8 minutes or until the tomatillos are soft. Then pour in the chicken broth and keep over medium-low heat until it starts to boil. Remove once the liquid begins to bubble slightly. Blend the above mixture together with cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper until you have a smooth sauce. Heat the vegetable oil in a pot, add the onion, and fry for 3 minutes. Pour in the blended sauce, add the chicharrón, and cook for 15 minutes over medium heat. Then add the precooked nopales and let cook for 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve the chicharrón in green sauce with nopales in a deep plate and garnish with cilantro. Serve with beans and tortillas.
