Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
½ cup chicken broth
1 bunch Swiss chard, tough stems removed and leaves cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch slices
1 pinch salt
12 corn tortillas
1 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese
¾ cup salsa

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth, Swiss chard, and salt. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until chard is nearly tender, about 5 minutes. Remove lid and increase heat to medium, stirring until the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Heat another skillet over medium-high heat. Warm the tortillas in the skillet for about 1 minute per side. Fill the warmed tortillas with the chard, and top with the queso fresco cheese and salsa.

CHARD AND SWEET CORN TACOS



Chard and Sweet Corn Tacos image

These sweet and spicy tacos can be filled with chard of any color, or other greens like beet greens or amaranth. I used Swiss chard for these tacos, but other greens like beet greens or amaranth will work. I don't recommend strong-tasting cruciferous greens like kale, though. You can use green chard, red chard or rainbow, and do include the stalks if they're nice and wide. Don't skimp on the garlic. As for the salsa, you can choose between fresh or cooked tomato salsa, or use a salsa verde made with tomatillos. They all work well. A quarter cup of filling is plenty for each taco.

Time 15m

Yield 8 tacos, serving 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 generous bunch Swiss chard (about 3/4 pound)
Salt to taste
1 medium white, red or yellow onion, sliced
3 large garlic cloves, minced
Kernels from 2 ears sweet corn
Freshly ground pepper
8 warm corn tortillas
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or feta (but not too salty a feta)
Salsa of your choice

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil while you stem chard and wash leaves in 2 rinses of water. Rinse stalks and dice them if they are wide and not stringy.
  • When water in pot comes to a boil, salt generously and add chard leaves. Blanch for a minute, then transfer to a bowl of cold water and drain. Take chard up by the handful and squeeze out excess water, then cut into 1/2-inch wide strips. Set aside.
  • Heat oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add onion. Cook, stirring often, until onions are tender and beginning to color, about 8 minutes, and add a generous pinch of salt, the garlic, diced chard stalks and corn kernels. Continue to cook, stirring often, until corn is just tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in chard and cook, stirring, for another minute or two, until ingredients are combined nicely and chard is tender but still bright. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
  • Heat tortillas. Top with vegetables, a sprinkling of cheese and a spoonful of salsa.

BLACK BEAN AND SWEET CORN TACOS

Provided by Mary McCartney

Categories     main-dish

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
One 15-ounce can black beans
4 corn taco shells
1 baby gem lettuce, roughly chopped
1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
1 cup arugula, roughly chopped
1 Hass avocado, diced
8 cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 lime, juiced
Pinch flaky sea salt
8 slices jarred pickled jalapeno
1/2 cup sweet corn, thawed to room temperature
Handful cilantro leaves, to garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat and saute the red onion and garlic until softened, around 5 minutes. Add the cumin and cook for another minute. Drain the beans into a colander and rinse under cold water. Add to the pan and stir to combine with the other ingredients. Using a potato masher roughly mash the beans to bind them with the onions and garlic, but not too much, so you still retain some of the bean texture.
  • Place the taco shells on a foil-lined baking sheet and put them in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes to warm.
  • Meanwhile make the salad. Put all of the chopped and diced salad ingredients into a bowl. In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, lime juice and salt, using a fork. Pour over the salad and toss gently making sure everything is lightly coated in the dressing.
  • When the taco shells are warm, remove them from the oven.
  • Divide the bean mix evenly among the 4 tacos, top each one with a couple of slices of pickled jalapeno, a quarter of the sweet corn and a quarter of the salad and garnish with cilantro leaves. Devour.
