Guisado Verde Ingredients

Method

Guisado Verde Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salsa Verde

    In a blender, combine 2 cups of salsa verde and blend until smooth. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Crispy Ricotta

    In a bowl, mix 1 cup of ricotta cheese with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Fry the Ricotta Mixture

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Scoop spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In the same skillet, warm the 8 flour tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side, until pliable.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Guisado Verde

    On each tortilla, spread a generous amount of salsa verde, top with crispy ricotta, and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and slices of jalapeño if desired.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Guisado Verde immediately while warm, with extra salsa verde on the side.
