Boil water in a pot with salt and baking soda, cook the nopales for 5 minutes; drain, cool under running water and set aside. Blend the tomato, onion, garlic, allspice and set aside. For the picadillo: In a skillet with oil, add the onion, garlic, ground beef, salt, pepper and cook for 8 minutes, then add the potato, carrot, chayote, zucchini, broth, bay leaf, and oregano. Cook for 20 minutes or until the liquid is completely reduced. Almost at the end of cooking, add the peas to prevent them from getting mushy and losing color. Stuff the nopales with the picadillo and roll them up, making sure to secure the closure with a toothpick. Serve and accompany with rice. Enjoy.
