Ingredients

• 1 pinch salt

• 1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
• 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
• 1 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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