Cook the chorizo.
About 5 minutes.
Break up with your spatula as it cooks.
In the meantime, roast the tomatoes, onion, and serrano pepper on a griddle.
Turn as needed. Make sure they are black on all sides.
Place the roasted tomatoes, onion, and serrano in a blender.
Blend until smooth.
Drain any excess fat from the chorizo.
Add the cactus and the tomato sauce.
Cook for 15 minutes.
Taste for salt before serving.

Instead of a serrano pepper, you can use a jalapeno or a diced roasted poblano pepper.
This recipe works great with leftover chorizo and leftover nopales.
