Local cooking schools will typically teach students how to incorporate locally sourced products onto a menu.
For example:
The official state plant of Texas is the edible Prickly Pear Cactus. The pads of the cactus are used in salads, soups, tacos, or just cooked on the grill for a zesty side dish.
The pads are also used for making Cactus Tacos (image shown below). The technique is rather self-explanatory:
Just put the pieces of prepared cactus into taco shells (hard shells are recommended). If you like, you can add lettuce, guacamole, cheese, and chunky salsa.
Cactus tastes somewhat like a limp, skinless, lightly marinated string bean. But it has an Okra-like 'slime' after cooking and should be rinsed well before serving.
The sweet, red fruit of the Prickly Pear is used to make jellies, pies, dried snack foods, dessert toppings and cocktails.
