Steps:
- 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.

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.

Tips:
- Prepare the Swiss chard properly: Remove the tough stems from the Swiss chard leaves and coarsely chop the leaves. Wash the leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
- Caramelize the onions slowly: Use low heat and cook the onions slowly until they are golden brown and sweet. This will take about 20-30 minutes.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the tacos. Use a cheese that melts well and has a sharp flavor, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper Jack.
- Don't overstuff the tacos: Overstuffing the tacos will make them difficult to eat and the filling will fall out. Fill the tacos with just enough filling so that they can be folded or rolled up easily.
- Serve the tacos immediately: Swiss chard tacos are best served immediately after they are made. The tortillas will become soggy if they sit for too long.
