Dinner Tonight: Seared Steak Tacos With Cactus Paddles Recipe

1. 1

   Remove the spines from the cactus and cut a 1/4 inch from the edges. Add the 1/2 tablespoon of the lard to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the cactus paddles for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove and slice into 1/4 inch strips.

2. 2

   Wipe out the large skillet, and then add the rest of the lard and turn the heat to high. Season the steak with salt and then sear the meat in a single layer for about 1 1/2 minutes per side. The meat should be cooked until done. You might need to cook the meat in batches.

3. 3

   Transfer the steak to a cutting board, and chop into 1/2 inch pieces.

4. 4

   Serve the steak and cactus with warm tortillas, salsa, and lime wedges.
