Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for Nopal Pizza using cactus.

Show the ingredients needed: 3 peeled and cleaned nopal cactus pads, olive oil, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, parsley, 4 plum tomatoes, 1 white onion, cilantro, scallion, queso fresco, provolone cheese, aluminum foil, and a tray.

Chop the scallion and cilantro, placing them on a plate.

Peel and slice the onion very thinly and add it to the plate with the scallion and cilantro.

In a pan, layer queso fresco, followed by chopped tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.

Season the mixture with salt, oregano, and black pepper to taste, adding olive oil to enhance flavor.

Add provolone cheese on top of the layered ingredients.

Wrap the mixture tightly in aluminum foil to create a pocket for steaming, ensuring it is sealed well to keep moisture inside.

Prepare a steaming setup and place the wrapped nopales inside, covering it well.

Steam the nopales for 20 to 25 minutes.

After steaming, carefully remove the nopales from the steamer, being cautious of the steam.

Plate the steamed nopales and show the final result, highlighting the cooked cheese and texture of the nopal.
