Instructions
- In a bowl, combine spinach, lettuce, artichoke hearts, red onion and water chestnuts. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or for up to 2 hours to allow flavors to blend.
- Just before serving, toss spinach mixture with lemon juice and jalapeño cream sauce.
- To build tacos, divide spinach mixture equally among taco shells. Top with cheese. Fold tortillas in half.
Rinse and pat dry all vegetables with paper towel before chopping to prevent a soggy texture.
If you are short on time, use store-bought taco shells. There are a variety of brands to choose from. Check with your local grocer to see if and when they make them fresh.
