  • First, prep the vegetables, lime, and herbs: cut the garlic into large slices; finely chop the piquillo peppers and oregano; coarsely chop the cilantro and chard; drain and rinse the beans under running water; finely dice the onion; cut the lime into 6 wedges. Brush the tortillas with olive oil and lay them on a baking sheet that's also been lightly oiled. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 3 minutes per side, then sprinkle the finished tortillas with salt. In a hot skillet, sauté the onion and garlic in a little olive oil. Once the vegetables soften, add the chard and season with salt and pepper to taste; simmer for about 5 minutes. Add the beans, paprika, and oregano, and continue to simmer for 2 minutes. Once the beans are heated through, mash a small portion with a fork. Stir everything together, adding the cilantro, piquillo peppers, and cream cheese. To serve, lay the tortillas on a platter, spoon the beans and vegetables on top, and garnish with lime wedges. Don't forget to drizzle with Mexican crema. It comes out delicious and beautiful — enjoy!
