Follow The Directions

01

Step
21 mins

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until softened and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in Swiss chard, chicken broth, and salt. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until chard is nearly tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the lid and increase heat to medium, stirring until liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

02

Step
2 mins

Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Warm tortillas in the hot skillet for about 1 minute per side.

03

Step
1 mins

Fill warmed tortillas with chard mixture. Top each taco with queso fresco cheese and salsa.

For a vegan option, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit the queso fresco, replacing it with a plant-based cheese alternative or avocado slices.
Feel free to experiment with other toppings such as pickled onions, a drizzle of crema, or a squeeze of lime for added zest.
If you don't have queso fresco, crumbled feta or cotija cheese can be used as a substitute.
Add a protein of your choice, such as ground beef, shredded chicken, or shrimp.
