Once ready, we cook the nopales : for this we place them in a saucepan with boiling water together with a piece of onion, add a pinch of baking soda and a pinch of salt, let them cook until they are very soft. Once ready, remove them from the hot water and set aside for a moment. On the other hand, we take the red tomato and the onion and chop them finely, and once ready, place them in a pan with previously heated oil and let them fry until the onion is transparent, and also add a pinch of salt.
Once the red tomato and onion are ready, add the chopped and cooked nopales, as well as a pinch of oregano, and integrate perfectly well. Add a pinch of salt and let them cook over medium heat for 10 more minutes. After this time we add the shredded string cheese, and integrate so that it melts.
