Preparation

First, wash the romeritos with plenty of water to remove the dirt, then boil this plant in a pot with enough water and salt until it changes color.

Cut the nopales into strips, cook them in another pot with water and salt for 10 minutes, and then drain them.

For the traditional Mexican tortillas you need to beat the egg whites to the point of nougat, add the yolks and the powdered shrimp. At this time, heat oil in a pan and fry the mixture, giving it the shape with the support of a few spoons.

When the pancakes are golden on both sides, take them out and let them drain on paper to remove excess oil.

The sauce is initially prepared by roasting the chiles, tomato and onion for five minutes in a pan, then removing them when they change color and soaking them in hot water until soft.

Blend these products with a little water, then fry the sauce in hot oil, add the romeritos, nopales, already cooked potatoes and the shrimp, then add the pancakes to the preparation.
