Ingredients

  • 8 ounces ricotta (preferably fresh), at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 white onion, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rings
  • 2 (4-ounce) cans sliced green chile peppers, drained
  • 2 bunches fresh spinach (about 1 pound), stemmed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 8 to 12 corn tortillas
  • Salsa verde, for serving

Directions

Combine the ricotta, cilantro and 1 clove garlic in a medium bowl and season with salt.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the onion and cook without stirring until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir and continue cooking until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the chiles, spinach (in batches) and cumin and cook, stirring, until the spinach begins to wilt. Add the remaining 2 cloves garlic and cook until the spinach is completely wilted, about 3 more minutes. Season with salt; transfer to a bowl and keep warm.

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or wrap in a damp towel and microwave 1 to 2 minutes. Divide the spinach mixture among the tortillas, top with the ricotta mixture and a spoonful of salsa verde and fold. Serve with more salsa.

    I changed up the recipe. I added fresh mushrooms I didn't use cumin or cilantro, but instead Italian seasonsing. I also used multigrain tortillas instead of corn tortilla and added some shredded cheese for flavor. I mixed the ricotta in with the vegetable mixture. It wasnt bad.

    Absolutely the worst recipe I've ever gotten off of food network. The texture was pure mush wrapped in a tortilla. I couldn't even finish eating the taco. Strongly advise against making this.
