2 pounds of fresh cactus (nopales) prepared and diced (or 32 ounce jar)
2 cans of diced tomatoes
3-4 pickled jalapeno peppers (or to taste)
3 cloves or more (to taste) of garlic
1/2 medium white onion
1 can each of red kidney, black bean, and pinto beans
pinch of basil
1 bunch of cilantro
1/4 cup of olive oil
2 dashes of salt and some ground black pepper will add flavor
A handful of sunflower seeds, shelled pumpkin seeds, or pine nuts, or any mix of them
Just mix all the ingredients above that you can obtain. Some hot peppers are always in favor here in the Southwest, but other folks may need it tamed down on the hot peppers some. One can use this as a dip for tortilla chips, or a relish and garnish on burritos meat dishes or a general spicy condiment.
