Start by washing the nopal cactus thoroughly.

Cut the nopal cactus into pieces and place them in a blender.

Add 1 serrano chili (seeded and deveined), 1 piece of onion, and 1 bunch of cilantro to the blender.

Add about 1/2 cup of water to the blender, adjusting as needed to avoid making the mixture too watery.

Blend the ingredients until smooth, being careful not to add too much water.

In a bowl, combine the blended mixture with 3/4 kg of masa de maíz and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Knead the dough until well mixed and form small balls.

Use a tortilla press to flatten the balls into tortillas.

Cook each tortilla on a hot skillet for a few seconds on each side until cooked through.

Repeat the cooking process until all tortillas are made, yielding about 15 tortillas.
