Tacos de Nopales

There’s a lot piled into the two tacos of Entree No. 36, the namesake being slices of peppery-tangy grilled nopales — or prickly pear cactus pads (prickly parts removed, of course). Joining the nopales are steak strips, grilled fresh jalepeños, onions, avocado and crumbled queso cotija, a salty white Mexican cheese.

Where to get it: Tortas Jalisco, 534 Frontier Road

What you’ll pay: $9.99 plus tax for an entree with rice and beans.
