With the right cheese (I like mild, aged goat cheese) this recipe is surprisingly delicious and simple. You could include other fillings such as mushrooms or cilantro or top with fresh guacamole, but these will also stand alone as great snack, appetizer or to compliment a dinner of black bean soup and salad.

Ingredients

4 tortillas (We like whole wheat, but corn will work well too)

1 cup mild cheese, grated

1 small bunch chard, chopped, stems separated

olive oil

Preparation

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a medium sized frying pan. Add chopped chard stems and sautee for 30 sec, then add leaves and stir to wilt evenly, about 2 minutes. As the chard sautees, heat tortilla in another pan. When warm, turn over, distribute some of the cheese over one half, spoon on chard, add a little more cheese (to hold it together) and fold the tortilla in half. Turn over after 30 more seconds Flip and remove from heat when cheese is melted and quesadilla is heated through. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Slice into wedges and serve.

Corn tortillas don’t fold very well, so use two for each quesadilla. Heat them both before stacking them sandwich-style with the filling in between and cooking them through.
