• 1 red onion, julienned

• 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

• 1 pound collard greens,

• 1 can canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

• 1/2 cup of vegetable stock

• Pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper

• 1/3 cup soft goat cheese, crumbled

Method

1. Remove the stems and chop the collard greens into bite size pieces

2. Blanch the collard greens for about 5 minutes in boiling water to soften them up, drain and set aside

3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

4. Cook the onions and the softened collards until soft, about 6 -10 minutes.

5. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

6. Stir in the cannellini beans and stock.

7. Cook until the greens are wilted and the beans are heated through, and most of the braising liquid is reduced, about 5-7 minutes.

9. Warm the tortillas.

10. Fill each tortilla with the beans-and-greens mixture.

11. Top with crumbled goat cheese and cilantro, then serve.
