Low

Boil the nopales for 10 minutes in a pot of boiling water, adding a pinch of baking soda to remove the "slime." Chop the onion, tomato, and serrano pepper finely. Cut the nopales and rinse them under running water once. Place everything in a bowl and season with cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon. Mix well and refrigerate.
