Ingredients
4 ounces nopales (see note)
1 ounce mushrooms, diced
1 ounce tomatoes, diced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 large eggs
4 corn tortillas
Instructions
Before making the tacos, boil the nopales in water with a little bit of salt for about 3 minutes. Once soft, place the nopales under cool water and drain, then cut into small pieces.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs, followed by the vegetables and nopales and cook just until the eggs have formed soft curds. Meanwhile, heat the tortillas on a griddle until soft and warm. Fill and serve immediately.

About the recipe
Known for its unassuming tacos made from homemade family recipes, Papalote Taco House really shines when it comes to vegetarian- and vegan-friendly options. The little South Austin shop is known for its inventive ingredients, such as nopales (the fleshy pads of a cactus, cooked until soft). Add in mushrooms and tomatoes, and you’ve got yourself a true breakfast treat.
Jarred nopales are available at Mexican groceries and specialty food stores; if using jarred, skip the boiling step.
