are those cactus 'leaves' and what do they taste like?

They are cactus leaves, specifically nopal, "prickly pear," and they taste like green beans with lemon juice sprinkled on them. They naturally have a bit of a sour taste. The texture is part crunchy, part meaty, with just a bit of okra like slime. They are delicious. The fruits are good as well, rather sweet.
