Those are the fruit of the prickly pear cactus, known as "tunas." In Mexico, you often find vendors selling them in plastic bags on street corners.

Larger chain stores such as Tops, Giant Eagle, Stop and Shop, etc., will often have a basket of them in their specialty fruit areas. The websites listed will give you more background information and ideas.
