Ingredients

• 4 tortillas
• 100g brie cheese
• 4 cups spinach
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tbsp crema

Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 4 tortillas, one at a time, pressing gently with a spatula to flatten them. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until warm and pliable with slight bubbles forming around the edges. Tip: For extra flavor, brush tortillas with 1 tsp olive oil before toasting.
2. Step 2: Place 100g brie cheese in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until softened but not melted, stirring halfway through. Tip: Avoid overcooking to prevent the cheese from becoming runny.
3. Step 3: Wash 4 cups spinach thoroughly, pat dry with a clean towel, and set aside. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat, then add the spinach. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until wilted and darkened in color. Tip: Remove from heat immediately to preserve vibrant green color.
4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 2 tbsp crema until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as desired.
5. Step 5: Assemble tacos by placing 1/4 of the softened brie, 1 cup wilted spinach, and 1 tbsp honey-lime crema mixture onto each tortilla. Fold the tortillas in half or roll them tightly for easy handling. Tip: For a richer flavor, add a sprinkle of crushed tortilla chips or avocado slices before folding.
