Took about 15 minutes to put this all together this morning before snow-blowing the driveway.
I tasted the nopales first, and yes, they taste like green beans. So I rinsed them, dried them and cut them in half and used the amount the recipe called for. Same for all the other ingredients...per the recipe. I'm glad I made a half recipe..the crockpot was was almost full.
Crock pot for 4 hrs and then I had a bowl.
The texture was good, except for the chopped poblano which never softened up. Next time, I would add them to the frying pan with the ground beef and onions, or leave the poblano out entirely.
Over all, it was very close to the same taste as the bowl at the bar and grille. The heat was less than moderate...just the way I wanted it.
I would make it again...it's super easy to make.
