Answer:
I would recommend washing all the sticky stuff before you using. Here is a quote an recipe you might want to try.
Nopales are often compared to Okra, because of the sticky substance they release when cooked. This should be rinsed off before serving or before further preparation as an ingredient.
Scrambled Nopales
* 1 or 2 cactus pads
* 8 Eggs
* 1/4 lb. of cheese (your choice)
* salt & pepper to taste
Prepare the cactus pads as described in the preparation section above. Once you have removed the needles, nodules and thoroughly washed the pads, slice into bite-size pieces. Sauté the sliced pads in a small amount of butter for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl; add shredded cheese and the sautéed cactus pieces. Pour the egg mixture into a skillet and scramble. Serve warm with salt and pepper to taste.
Nopales Rellenos (Stuffed Cactus Pads)
* 12 tender cactus pads
* 3 cups of water
* 6 slices of Machego or Panela cheese
* 1/4 onion, thinly sliced lengthwise
* 1 clove of garlic
* Salt to taste
* 1/2 cup of flour
* 4 eggs, separated
* 1 1/2 cups vegetable or olive oil
* 1 can of tomato sauce (12 ounces)
Prepare the cactus pads as described in the preparation section above. Once you have removed the needles, nodules and thoroughly washed the ads, boil in 3 cups of water with the garlic, onion, and salt. Drain.
On each of 6 cactus pads place a slice of cheese and 3 to 4 pieces of onion. Top with another cactus pad, secure with wooden toothpicks and coat with flour.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then add the yolks and beat for 1 to 2 minutes more to create a batter.
Heat the oil in a frying pan, dip the stuffed cactus pads into the egg batter and fry until golden on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
Serve drenched with cooked tomato sauce.
Nopales Salsa
* 1 lb. cleaned cactus pads
* 1/2 lb. tomatillos
* 1 small white onion
* 2 garlic cloves
* 2 poblano peppers
* 1/2 tsp. of salt
* 2 tsp.of fresh lime juice
* 1/2 tsp.of cumin
* 2 Tbs. cilantro
Prepare the cactus pads as described in the preparation section above. Once you have removed the needles, nodules and thoroughly washed the pads, grill for about 7 minutes on each side. Slice the grilled pads into strips. Place tomatillos, cubed onions and garlic in a baking dish, then cook in a 450-degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Roast poblanos on grill or under the broiler, then peel them and remove the seeds. Place all ingredients in a blender and mix until well chopped. A little water may be needed to moisten the salsa. Serve chilled with chips or use to season tacos, burritos or other Mexican dishes.
Es más fácil limpiar los nopales si se usan guantes para no pincharse y se utiliza un pela-patatas.

To cook them, put as little water as you can, just enough to cover them, and add a husk or two of green tomatoes (tomatillo). After cooked, rinse a little and all the goo should be gone.
Yummy!
