Nopalitos (Jeanette)

2 quart jars Noplitos (we prefer La Costena)

4-5 well marbled roast beef

1 tooth Garlic Sliced (can use more to taste preference)

6 small dried hot chilies (Japanese Chilies)

Salt

Cooking oil 1/2 inch in deep fry pan

Consomme l cube

Water

Cut roast into bite sized cubes. Add to hot oil to which sliced garlic has been added. Fry beef until well done.

Add water to cover beef to double the depth of the beef in the pan

Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer.

Place all chilies in hot water to soften. Then place water and chilies (minus the stems) into blender.

Liquefy, strain liquid and add liquid to the simmering beef.

Add consomme and salt to taste.

Simmer all together for one hour.

Drain liquid from Noplitos. Add Noplitos to beef mixture and simmer all together for 15-20 minutes.
