1 tablespoon olive oil

2–3 cups shredded kale (no stems, please)

one 14-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup enchilada sauce (I like this one)

1 chipotle pepper, minced (or a sprinkle of ground dried chipotle spice)

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 ounces of queso fresco (optional)

1 jalapeño pepper, with seeds and ribs to keep it spicy (remove for a mild version)

pinch of salt (to taste)

1 1/2 cups fresh sweet corn, cut off the cob (frozen corn works too – just sauté in a hot pan for a few minutes or cook in microwave)

anything else you like on your tacos

Blend aji verde sauce ingredients together until smooth.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add kale; sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft. Add beans, enchilada sauce, and chipotle. Season with salt. Simmer until the kale is very well-cooked and everything has taken on a roasty-tomato-chipotle kind of of vibe.

Fill each tortilla with beans and greens, corn, and a heavy drizzle of aji verde sauce. Top with whatever else makes your heart happy. Mwah. So good.
