Directions
- (Tacos de Acelgas Guisadas con Crema)
- Makes 16 tacos. LACTO
- Cream and poblanos are meant for each other while the greens give the mix a grown-up flavor. The preparation is rich and simple, just the kind of dish I like as a starter-wrapped in soft corn tortillas-for a festive meal.
- Roast chiles directly over gas flame or possibly 4 inches below very warm broiler, till blackened on all sides, about 5 min for open flame, about 10 min for broiler. Cover with kitchen towel and let stand 5 min. Peel, pull out stem and seed pod, then rinse briefly to remove bits of skin and seeds. Slice into '/.-inch strips.
- In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat, add in onion and cook, stirring often, till browned but still crunchy, about 5 min. Add in garlic and herbs, toss a minute longer; stir in chiles. Set aside.
- To hot tortillas, set up steamer. (With this many tortillas, you'll need 2 metal collapsible steamer baskets set up in saucepans or possibly 1 big Chinese bamboo steamer.) Add in 1/2 inch of water under the steamer basket(s); bring to a boil.
- Wrap tortillas in 2 stacks in heavy kitchen towels, lay in steamer(s) and cover tightly. Boil 1 minute; turn off heat and let stand without opening steamer(s) for about 15 min.
- In small saucepan, combine stock and potatoes; cover and simmer over medium-low heat till nearly tender, about 15 min.
- Pour potatoes and stock into skillet with onion mix, fold in chard and boil over medium-high heat till stock evaporates, about 4 min. Add in cream and continue to boil, stirring often, till cream reduces sufficient to coat vegetables. Taste and season with salt.
- Scoop mix into hot serving dish, sprinkle with cheese if using, and carry to the table along with hot tortillas in a cloth-lined basket for each guest to assemble their own tacos.
- Makes 16 tacos (about 4 c. filling).
