We're big fans of another recipe in my collection (black bean burritos with Swiss chard) and thought this one was going to be too similar. How wrong we were! This recipe blows away the other.

Preparation

Step 1

1. Drain the tomatoes and reserve all but 1/2 cup of the liquid. [I don't fully understand this order -- there was barely more than a 1/2-cup of liquid in the can, so I just included all the liquid.] Put the tomatoes and the reserved liquid in a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker. Add the beans, corn, and taco seasoning. Cover and cook until the flavors are blended, 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.

2. About 20 minutes before the cooking time is up, stir in the Swiss chard. Coarsely mash the bean mixture with a potato masher or wooden spoon.

3. Lay the tortillas out on a work surface. Spoon 1/2 cup of the bean mixture on to each tortilla. Top evenly with the pepper Jack, sour cream, and sals verde. Roll up the tortillas to enclose the filling.
