Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250° F. Place a large molcajete on a baking sheet. Place in oven to keep warm.
- Heat large comal or skillet over low-medium heat. Make a few slits on cactus paddles and place on skillet. Place green onions next to cactus paddles and cook until tender and a bit roasted, turning frequently with tongs. Set aside.
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Place longaniza (sausage or chorizo) on hot pan, turning frequently with tongs. Do not break casing. When longaniza renders its fat, place shrimp next to longaniza and fry until fully cooked. Remove from heat. Continue cooking longaniza for 5 minutes or until completely cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook skirt steak (or fajita meat) until desired doneness. Set aside.
