Swiss Chard Soft Tacos with Black Bean and Corn Salsa

Swiss Chard WrapSwiss Chard Soft Tacos: a simplified take on “Soft Corn Tacos with Garlicky Greens” from A Year in a Vegetarian Kitchen by Jack Bishop. I sliced half of an onion and sauteed in olive oil along with 3-4 minced garlic cloves. Once softened, I added one bunch of chopped chard and cooked until just wilted then seasoned with salt and pepper. The chard mixture was served with warm corn tortillas and my Black Bean and Corn Salsa.

Dinner was very late the day we had this meal so no photo was taken. The image is actually of my lunch the next day. Leftover chard mixture and salsa wrapped up in a whole-wheat flour tortilla.

Black Bean and Corn Salsa

The following measurements are approximate. Use them as a guide and do feel free to modify proportions to suit your preferences!

1 1/2 cups cooked, drained black beans

1 cup corn kernels

1 cup chopped tomatoes (I used unsalted canned, but use fresh if available)

1/2 cup diced onion

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

1 clove of garlic, minced

handful of cilantro, chopped

good squeeze of lime or lemon

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Oh my goodness Cassie, these were so so so good! I wasn't sure how it would turn out (it is one of those combinations you don't think of)... but it was amazing! My husband said it goes on the "make again list".
