2. To prepare tomato sauce: In saucepan, combine tomatoes, onion, garlic, salt and chile peppers. Add some of water used to soak peppers. Cook over medium-high heat until tomatoes are soft and sauce consistency is reached.
3. In small bowl, combine ricotta and oregano. Warm tortillas and top each with 1/4 cup (60 mL) greens, 1 Tbsp (15 mL) tomato sauce and 2 tsp (10 mL) ricotta cheese. Fold in half before eating.
* Tips: Quelites are fresh, seasonal herbs local to Mexico. If they're not available, replace with spinach or chard. Cascabel chile peppers are small, round and moderately hot. They can be substituted with another moderately hot chile such as guajillo or a dried chile of choice.
