Nopales are the pads of the nopal cactus (a type of prickly 
pear [Opuntia] cactus - I believe all are edible, just some 
require a lot more work than others to remove the spines). 
Nopalitos are nopales that are diced or cut into strips. And, 
yeah, they're probably hard to find outside the lower left 
corner of the US ...
