I had the most wonderful culinary experience at the base camp of Ixta. A little Mexican lady made quesadillas in a little brick shack, scantily clad in warped pieces of tin. After a little help from Pablo in reading the menu, I ordered two quesadillas myself, in Spanish. Fresh blue corn tortillas cradled potatoes, cheese, and cactus. The first bite was definitely a cultural experience, due to the cactus. By the end of my meal I was ready for more. I want to get some cactus at home and learn how to prepare it. If you like raw okra, I'm sure you would love lightly sauted cactus.
