NOPALITO TACO OMELET

Sorry my photography is not so good with these, but I was in a hurry to eat it!  Ha! I decided at the last minute to shoot a quick picture and blog it. No careful prepping or anything. But you get the idea anyway.  I hate putting up a recipe without a picture.

I'm really getting to like Nopalitos, even if they don't lower my blood sugar yet.  I'm still waiting to see if they do that.  I guess it can take a few times of eating them, which will be ok with me, cuz I like eating them.  I really liked them last night in my Beef Tamale Pie and I really liked them today in this omelet, which I had for lunch.  You can find Nopalitos in the Mexican section of the grocery store.  The ones I bought were in a 30 oz. jar.  I used left over taco meat.  You can use your favorite seasonings for tacos.
