Chard Tacos?... Oh yes I did!

I asked my self, self what should I do with a gorgeous bunch of neon lights chard. So I googled, "What to make with chard". I found a recipe on Martha Stewart for tacos with garlicky Mexican greens. Hmmm, sounds intriguing. The original recipe was meatless and called for feta cheese. My carnivorous, cheese nazi wasn't going for it, so I added ground beef and stuck with less stinky shredded Mexican style cheese.

Garlicky Greens

12 oz of chard
salt
1 tablespoon of oil
1 diced onion
4 cloves of garlic finely chopped

Boil the chard in salted water for 1 to 2 minutes.
Drain the chard and let cool on a plate. Heat oil on medium and saute onion for 10 minutes until golden brown. Add garlic and saute another minute. Chop up the chard and saute with onion and garlic for another 1 to 2 minutes.


Outstanding colors and texture and tasted great by itself. I piled it on warm corn tortillas with all my favorite taco fixings. Homemade roasted tomatillo salsa sealed the deal on a great meal.
