On a cutting board, cut the Virginia Zwan® Turkey Breast into small cubes. In a hot skillet, pour the olive oil and lightly cook the red onion and garlic until they become shiny. Add the cherry tomatoes, serrano pepper, oregano, epazote, Zwan® panela cheese, and diced Virginia Zwan® Turkey Breast, season with salt and pepper, mix, and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat. Remove from heat and set aside. On a large sheet of aluminum foil, pour a little olive oil, place a piece of nopal, spread a tablespoon of refried pinto beans on the nopal, and add the filling mixture on top, cover the nopal with the aluminum foil sheet and close it making sure there are no openings. Repeat until all the nopales are used. Place the nopales on a hot griddle and cook for 15 minutes over medium-low heat. Once the time has elapsed, break open the aluminum foil and serve the nopal accompanied by fried chiles and white rice.

Tips

If you want to remove the slime from the nopales, before cooking them, let them rest in a bowl with a teaspoon of sea salt for 15 minutes. Then, rinse under cold running water until the excess salt is removed.
