Prickly Pear Tacos

1. 1

   Make the slaw by mixing the olive oil, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Add the cabbage and cilantro and mix to coat. Let sit while preparing the rest of the meal.

2. 2

   Drain the black beans, add the cumin and a pinch of salt and warm on the stove.

3. 3

   Rinse and pat dry prickly pear pads. Brush on a light coat of oil. Cut onions into thick slices, brush with olive oil and give a good sprinkling of kosher salt. Put both on the grill and let cook. The cactus will be ready to flip when you start to see charred spots. Just as you're ready to take everything off, grill the tortillas for a few seconds on each side to warm. Finally, chop the cactus into strips similar in width to the onions and cut the onions in half to form strips.

4. 4

   Assemble the tacos by adding a spoonful of black beans, topping them with onions and cactus and then a good sprinkling of cotija. Top it all off with a spoonful of cabbage slaw. Enjoy!
