    | 1. Place the whole cactus paddles, onion and garlic in a large pot with water to cover and salt to taste. | 2. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes, or until the nopales are tender but still firm. | 3. Drain and rinse. | 4. Starting at the wide, curved end, carefully slice each paddle horizontally, as if butterflying a chop for stuffing. | 5. Do not cut all the way through to the narrow end (the thicker part where the pad is attached to the main plant) but leave approximately 1 1/2" uncut. | 6. Place a slice of cheese between the two sections and press flat. | 7. Dredge the paddles in flour. | 8. Beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks, and fold in the lightly beaten egg yolks. | 9. Pour enough oil into large skillet so that it comes up at least 1/2 inch. | 10. Heat the oil until sizzling hot. | 11. Dip the stuffed nopales in the egg batter to coat and fry in the hot oil until golden brown on each side. | 12. Serve immediately with red salsa. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
