01:40Here we are at the cactus farm!
01:43Oh, that farm looked very prickly!
01:45Oh, hello, Mr. Farmer!
01:47We need some prickly pear cactus to make nopalas tacos!
01:50Well, Cookie Monster and Gonger, you came to the right place!
01:54Not everybody knows it, but cactus can be a very healthy food!
01:58One part of the cactus we eat is the tender leaf on the prickly pear cactus, which you can
02:04find growing in nature.
02:06In Spanish, the cactus is called nopal, which is why the dish you're making is called nopales.
02:12The cactus has leaves that grow on the bigger part, called the pad.
02:16We harvest the leaves using thick rubber gloves to protect us from the spines.
02:20Then we stack the leaves in big boxes.
02:26Then they're off to market for people to use for grilling and cooking.
02:33Wow!
02:37So, Cookie Monster and Gonger, here are your cactus leaves to make nopales tacos.
02:41Oh, thank you. Wait, that's not prickly, right?
02:43Don't worry. We made sure to take off all the spines.
02:46Okay, that's a relief. Thank you, Mr. Farmer.
02:49Oh, ow. Me just kidding.
02:51Bye-bye.
02:52Thank you, Mr. Cactus.
02:54Prickly pear leaves, prickly pear leaves.
02:56We're going home with prickly pear leaves.
02:59Okay, we got the cactus right here.
03:03So, how we make nopales tacos?
