1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 eggs

Steps:

Cook cactus in boiling water 15 min. or until tender; drain and pat dry. Heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add cactus, onions and garlic; cook and stir 5 min. or until onions are crisp-tender.
Beat eggs and milk in large bowl with whisk until blended. Stir in ham. Add egg mixture to skillet; cook on medium heat 3 to 5 min. or until almost set, occasionally lifting edge with spatula and tilting skillet to allow uncooked portion to flow underneath.
