    Cactus tacos

    Half a kilo chopped nopales boiled with a few dried bay leaves, one peeled yuzu fruit (yuzu is very hard to find where I live but someone gave me a bunch of it), and a large splash of soy sauce for ~20 minutes

    Tossed in 1 tbsp five slice and 1 tbsp sugar

    3 to 4 grams garlic hoisin sauce brushed onto each tortilla (tortillas made fresh with store bought masa dough)

    Roughly 36 grams cooked seasoned cactus per tortilla (recipe makes ~10 tacos worth)

    Topped with crunchy kimchi (note: if you want this to be vegetarian or vegan you will need to use specifically vegan kimchi), the peel of one yuzu fruit (pith removed), li hing mui powder, a pea-sized blob of S&B yuzu spicy citrus paste (no idea what’s in it but it tastes good), a bit of powdered white pepper, and a bit of ono brand spicy Hawaiian seasoning

    If my math is right it’s ~75 calories per taco

    *(If this recipe seems familiar: same guy, new account).*
