Serving size

1 wedge

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced

2 cloves of garlic, minced

10 ounces (about 9 cups) of Swiss chard, leaves and stems sliced into ribbons

⅓ cup Half-and-Half or milk

6 medium eggs

¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly grounded

3 ounces (about ¾ cup) goat cheese, crumbled

¼ avocado, sliced

½ jalapeño, diced

¼ cup cilantro leaves

8 fresh corn tortillas, fresh

½ teaspoon sea salt (optional, not included in nutrient analysis)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and reduce heat to low and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes more.
  3. Increase the heat to medium and add the sliced chard and cook until it wilts. Add salt, if desired. Reduce heat and cook 5 minutes more.
  4. Add the half-and-half or milk and stir to mix well.
  5. Crack each egg into the mixture, evenly spacing around the pan.
  6. Sprinkle each egg with freshly ground pepper and cook, covered with lid or foil, on medium-low heat until the eggs are just set, but centers are not hardened, about 7 to 9 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat. Top with cheese, avocado, jalapeño and cilantro.
  8. Slice into 8 equal wedges, like a pie, and wrap each wedge in a warmed tortilla.

Cooking Tip

As a variation, use frozen turnip greens in place of the Swiss chard.
