This is one of Cactus Cantina's Specialty Dishes served sizzling right to your table. If you've been feeling the call to make like Joanna Gaines and embrace your inner "crazy plant lady," an indoor cactus or succulent garden is a great place to start. Did you know all cacti are succulents but not all succulents are cacti? All succulents store water in their stem or foliage, but cacti also feature areoles, the little bumps on the outside of the plant that the spines grow from.
