Mexican Raviolis

A fantastic way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo! This was a last minute creation using ingredients found in my fridge. Serve with marinara sauce (add chopped cilantro to the marinara for a bit of Mexican flavor). If you can't find Mexican cheese, try a mix of Monterey Jack and Cheddar.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• ½ cup part-skim ricotta cheese
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• ½ cup chopped cilantro
• 1 clove garlic, finely minced
• 1 (14 ounce) package round wonton wrappers
• 1 cup shredded queso asadero (white Mexican cheese)
• 2 links chorizo sausage, cut into small pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Add chorizo to a hot skillet set over medium heat; cook, stirring, until cooked through. Set aside to cool.

Step 2

In a large bowl, stir together ricotta, queso asadero, cilantro, garlic, cumin, and salt.

Step 3

Place chorizo in a blender or food processor, and pulse until finely ground. Pour combined ingredients into blender, and pulse until well blended.

Step 4

Place a teaspoonful of filling on a wonton wrapper. Dip a finger in water, and wet the top half edge of the wrapper. Fold in half, and pinch the edges to seal. Set aside, and continue filling and sealing the remaining wrappers.

Step 5

Add oil and about 1 tablespoon salt to a pot of boiling water. Gently place raviolis into water, and cook until raviolis float to the top, about 6 minutes. Remove to plates with a slotted spoon, and serve topped with marinara sauce.
