Dinner Tonight: Healthy And Delicious Braised Greens Tacos Recipe
- 1 12 ounce bunch Swiss chard, washed (or collard greens, kale, etc.)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large white or red onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth, or water
- 12 corn tortillas, warmed with a bit of water in a kitchen towel in the microwave
- 1 cup crumbled queso fresco (or feta, or goat cheese)
- A large handful (6-10) cherry tomatoes
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
- (Alternatively, a store-bought salsa or hot sauce will work)
- Heat the oil in a large (12 inch) skillet over medium high, add the onion and cook until golden but still a bit crunchy, 4-5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice the greens crosswise into 1/2 inch slices.
- Add the garlic and chili flakes to the onion and cook for an additional minute, then add the broth or water, a large pinch of salt, and the greens. Reduce heat to low and braise, covered, for about 5 minutes or until the greens are nearing tender, but not quite finished.
- Meanwhile, put the cherry tomatoes into a dry skillet over medium-high heat until blistered, transfer to a small food processor with the chipotle pepper and a large pinch of salt, and blend until smooth.
- Remove the cover from the greens and cook off the moisture until it is nearly dry. Season with salt if necessary. Fill each taco-two tortillas thick-with a tongful of the greens, a spoonful of salsa, and the queso fresco.
