Tips for making the Nopal recipe with Panela Cheese in the Airfryer

• Moisten the nopal with a little oil or melted butter to improve the flavor and make them roast better
• Use spices like thyme and oregano on top of the cheese to give the recipe more flavor
• If you like the vegetables more poached or softer, let it cook for 15 or 20 minutes until it becomes soft and at the end you place the cheese so that it does not burn
