User Reviews:

This has got to be one of the best tasting spinach recipes I have run across in a long time. Here are a couple fariations i added just for the sake of being differant. If you are concerned about fats you can substitute flour tortillas for the corn, and whole wheat flour tortillas add a nutty taste to the recipe. For the Vegans, replace the ricotta with and equal amount of extra firm tofu mashed to a a course crumble, and shredded soy or almond milk cheeses for the topping. Also a mild salsa verde (green salsa) makes a nice variation on the traditional enchalada sauce.
