Tortas de Camaron

Tortas de Camaron
  • 2 dried ancho chilies, stemmed and seeded
  • 6 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup shrimp powder
  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 white onion, coarsely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup water, or more as needed
  • 1 1/2 chicken bouillon cubes
  • 1 (16 ounce) jar nopales (cactus), drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste (optional)


  1. Soak ancho chilies in a bowl of warm water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
  2. Whisk eggs and shrimp powder together in a bowl.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; pour egg mixture into small 2-inch circles in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining egg mixture.
  4. Blend ancho chilies, onion, garlic, and water in a blender until smooth. Add more water if needed to make a soup consistency. Pour chile mixture into a pot over medium heat; add chicken bouillon and egg patties. Cook and stir until bouillon is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add nopales, reduce heat to low, and cook until soup is heated through, about 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.
