Hi Paul

Nopalitos are strips of prikley pear cactus .

My neighbors mother in law made nopales which is a type of stew using 
this cactus. Quite tasty.

The local grocery store sells this as whole cactus which then has to 
have the thorns removed. the store also carries  a product called 
nopalitos "natural tender cactus" by Embasa 32 oz. for $1.19 American.
