Aztec casserole with nopales (cactus leaves), bacon and potatoes

Aztec casserole (= tortilla casserole) is a traditional Mexican festive dish. It can be considered the Mexican cousin of lasagna, since, like lasagna, it is prepared by alternating layers of different ingredients. In the more classic Mexican version, it is prepared by alternating lightly fried corn tortillas with layers of tomato sauce, sliced poblano peppers, sweet corn, sliced onion, sour cream and cheese, and finally baked just like the Italian version. If you feel like trying an Aztec casserole, we would like to present an alternative recipe, where instead of tortillas we use potatoes alternated with a filling of sautéed Nopales (cactus leaves) with a touch of Chipotle and a tomato and chili sauce. The result will surprise you, do not miss the chance to try it!

1 jar of 900g of nopales in strips
