So i dont know you guys but i love prickly pears or tunas like we call 'em in Mexico, even more in summer as a cold treat.
I saw the other 2 tutorials to do this and well thats for kiddies (no offense).
I'll teach you how to peel them like my grandma taught me.
Its easy as pie just follow the pics
and remember use cold ones, they are less slippery
1 Cut top and bottom
2. Make an incition, just let your knife do the cut, the seeds will stop it to go further)
3 with your finger enter from the top corner and start going down
4. With an up and down movement start removing the skin, it will ceede by itself
5 you are done, and look, no spines
