Ingredients

  • 1 onion, sliced
  • olive oil
  • 2 - 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 3 1/2 cups home cooked black beans (or 2 (15 oz) cans)
  • 1 - 2 chipotles en adobo, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 10 oz young spinach or 1 (12 oz) bunch Swiss Chard, lower stems removed leaves sliced crosswise into 1/2" strips
  • salt
  • 1/2 cup queso fresco
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions or thinly sliced red onion for garnish

Directions

  1. Place the greens in a microwavable bowl, cover with plastic wrap, poke a few holes in the top and microwave on high until completely wilted, usually about 2 minutes for spinach, 3 minutes or so for the Swiss chard. Uncover the bowl and set aside. Saute the onion in a little olive oil over medium heat until very richly browned. Add garlic. Stir 1 minute, then add beans, chiles and water. Simmer 10 minutes. Add the greens, heat through and serve with garnishes.
