Ingredients

RED CHARD ENCHILADAS

Prep time about 20 minutes

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 bunch of red chard

1 Cup water

1 16oz can mixed beans (or just red or white kidney, pinto or black would do too)

1 cup tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (soy)

2 Tbsp cumin

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 tsp corriander

dash cayanne

8 whole wheat 6″ flat bread

olives

sour cream (tofuti - optional)

Directions

Heat a large sauté/frying pan to a medium temperature.

Dice the onion and sauté to softens, (about 2 minutes) then add the minced garlic, watching carefully not to allow it to burn.

Rinse the chard well and trim ends and remove stems. Finely chop the stems to 1/2" lengths and add them to the onions. Add 1/2 cup of the water to help to steam it. (Add more if it evaporates, making sure the stems just stay moist.)

While the stems are becoming tender, rinse the beans and add to the pan.

Chiffonade the chard leaves and sprinkle over the salt and spices.

Toss in the chard leaves, adding the remaining water, keeping the mixture just moist.

Taste to adjust seasoning and remove everything from the heat once the chard stems are soft and the leaves are tender.

In a long oven proof dish, spread half of the tomatoes.

Shred the cheese and build the enchiladas starting with the flat bread.

Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons across the center, sprinkle lightly with the cheese and roll the opposite ends together.

Repeat until everything is folded and rolled.

Cover the enchiladas with the remaining tomato sauce, dot each one with sour cream and an olive.

Sprinkle the last of the cheddar and bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Serve with an extra dollop of sour cream, if desired.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is chard?

dayna 1 year, 7 months ago said:
Chard is a leaf vegetable related to beets but very much resembles a cross between spinach, for the leaves, and rhubarb for the edible stalks. It grows in many colours from pale green, like bok choi to a rainbow variety. It may be eaten cooked or raw and is very high in vitamins K, A and C.
