Roasted Nopales With Mole Recipe

This recipe combines two of the most emblematic ingredients of Mexico, mole, and nopales. Ideal for a vegetarian diet, this dish is accompanied by panela cheese, a white, fresh, and smooth Mexican cheese of pasteurized cow's milk.

This dish, in addition to being delicious, is quite nutritious since the nopal is rich in calcium, vitamins, proteins, and minerals.

Here is the recipe:
