Chicken thighs are leaner and pork shoulder is more economical.

Start with 3 pounds of pork ribs cut into pieces.

Add 3 tablespoons of salt to the meat.

Prepare 3 bay leaves and 3 garlic cloves to add to the cooking meat.

Boil water in a pot and add the pork ribs, onion, garlic cloves, and bay leaves.

Cover the pot and cook for 30 to 40 minutes.

While the meat is cooking, roast tomatillos and jalapeños in a pan for added flavor.

Once the tomatillos and jalapeños are roasted, remove them from the heat and let cool.

Blend the roasted tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, garlic, and a little water (about 2 cups) to make the salsa.

Preheat oil in a pan and fry the nopales until they are crispy.

Add the blended salsa to the pan with the nopales and stir.

Season the salsa with additional salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

Cover the pan and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes.
