  • Heat and melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the onion and garlic for 5 minutes or until translucent. Add the epazote, Bionda® Ricotta, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well, remove from heat, and let cool for 15 minutes.
  • Cook the ancho chiles in a pot with enough water for 5 minutes or until softened, then remove, dry very well, and let cool. Place the chiles on a cutting board and open them in half with scissors, removing the seeds and veins.
  • Stuff each of the chiles with the Bionda® Ricotta mixture you prepared in the first step. Set aside.
  • For the sauce: blend Bionda® Ricotta, half-and-half, chicken broth, chipotle chiles, salt, and pepper for 5 minutes or until you achieve a smooth sauce.
  • Serve the stuffed ancho chile with ricotta on a large plate: first place the sauce, then the ancho chile, and garnish with sprigs of thyme.
