Ingredients:

Serving

1 bunch swiss chard or 1 bunch collard greens or 1 bunch mustard or 1 bunch beet leaves or 1 bunch spinach , about 12-oz ., touch stems removed
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onions
3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 tbsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup chicken broth or 1/2 cup vegetable broth or 1/2 cup water
12 corn tortillas
1 cup mexican queso fresco (feta is a nice substitute) or 1 cup fresh cheese ( feta is a nice substitute)
3/4 cup chipotle salsa

Directions:

Cut the chard crosswise into 1-2 inch slices. In a large skillet heat the oil over medium-heat. Add the onion and stir occasionally for about 10 minutes, until they become golden and caramelized. Add the garlic and red pepper and stir for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the broth, greens and a pinch of salt. Cover reduce heat to low and cook until the greens are almost tender, (spinach will just take about 2 minutes, chard about 5, and heartier greens like collards, about 7-8) stirring occasionally. Remove lid and turn heat back to medium, stirring, until the mixture is nearly dry and adjust salt to taste.
Meanwhile, heat a flat skillet over medium-high heat and warm the tortillas for a minute or so per side. Fill the warm tortillas with veggies and top with crumbled queso and salsa.
**You can use your favorite salsa, or make a quick, smokey chipotle salsa. Place 1-2 tomatoes, cut in half, half side down under the broiler with a few peeled cloves of garlic until slightly charred - a few minutes. Blend, tomatoes, garlic and 2-3 chipotles in adobo sauce (you’ll find these in a can) with a splash of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
