Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

12 Cactus Shoots
2 Clvs Garlic (chopped)
1/2 c Onions (chopped)
1/2 c Corn oil
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Pepper
2 tb Flour
2 oz Chili powder (mild)
1 1/2 c Water (warm)

With a paring knife, scrape cactus shoots on both flat sides. Cut into
small squares and wash well.

In a deep pan boil cactus until cooked tender. Drain and set aside.
Pour 1/2 cup of corn oil into empty rinsed pan and heat. Add chopped
onions and chopped garlic. Saute for 10 minutes, then remove from
heat and let rest for 10 minutes. Now add flour, water, and chili
powder. Return to medium/low heat and stirring constantly, cook until
sauce is medium thick. Add the cooked cactus and simmer for an
additional 15 minutes.

Delicious as a side dish for beef, poultry or fish.

Enjoy...Gary
