Instructies

1. In a blender or food processor, blend aji verde sauce ingredients together until smooth.

2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add kale; sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add beans, corn, enchilada sauce, and chipotle. Season with salt. Simmer a few more minutes.

3. Fill each tortilla with a bit of spinach leaves, beans and greens, and a heavy drizzle of aji verde sauce.

Notities

From Rachel:

For an extra umph of salty and savory, add a few strips of turkey bacon or chopped pork to the beans and greens. Prior to step 2 of the directions, first chop the meat and heat in a skillet until cooked through. Then resume the directions in the same skillet.

These aren't the prettiest on completion, and are messy to eat, but they are really fast and pack some great flavor.
