• Salsa:
    1 pound ripe tomatoes, cored and cut into 1-inch dice
    1 small chipotle in adobo sauce, minced (about 1 tsp)
    1/2 teaspoon minced fresh oregano leaves
    Salt
    Burritos:
    1 pound chard, preferably rainbow chard, leaves washed, shaken dry to remove excess water
    2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    3 medium garlic cloves, minced
    Salt
    4 large flour tortillas, warmed one at a time in a large skillet
    2 cups cooked white rice
    1/4 cup sour cream

    For the salsa: Combine the tomatoes, chile, oregano and salt to taste in a medium bowl.  Set aside.

    For the burritos: With a chef’s knife, separate the fleshy stalk from the green portions of each chard leaf.  Trim the ends of the stalks and chop fine.  You should have about 2 1/2 cups chopped stalks.  Stack the leaves and slice them crosswise into 1/2-inch thick strips.  You should have about 8 packed cups of sliced leaves.

    Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering.  Add the onion and chard stalks and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 8 minutes.  Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.  Add the chard leaves (it’s best if they are still slightly damp from washing) and salt to taste.  Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender, about 7 minutes.  If the greens are soupy, remove the cover and simmer for a minute or two.  Adjust the seasonings, adding more salt if necessary.

    Lay the warmed tortillas flat on a work surface.  Spoon 1/2 cup of the rice over the bottom of each tortilla.  Top the rice with some chard (roughly 1/2 a cup) and 1 tablespoon sour cream.  Roll the tortillas, tucking the side toward the center to form neat bundles.  Slice each burrito in half and serve, passing salsa at the table.
