If you like healthy wraps, you’ll love our tasty steak lettuce wraps! We love a good wrap because it’s an easy way to pack a lot of delicious ingredients and flavors into one convenient meal you can hold (although you may be better off eating these ones with a fork and knife because they can get a bit messy). We swap a tortilla for a swiss chard leaf and stuff it with a Mexican-inspired filling. Hearty sweet potato, spicy chorizo, red onion, corn, and black beans are cooked and seasoned then topped with sour cream and cilantro before being wrapped up burrito-style. These healthy gluten-free wraps are simple to make, wholesome, and perfect to enjoy for lunch or a light dinner any time of year! Here’s everything you need to make these delicious swiss chard wraps:
Olive oil + sweet potato – sweet potatoes sautéed in olive oil are satisfying and sweet, plus they’re loaded with vitamin A and fiber. Chorizo – there are two types of chorizo, Mexican chorizo and Spanish chorizo. It’s a flavorful, spicy sausage that comes in different shapes and sizes. Either variety works in this recipe. Red onion + garlic – red onion is subtly sweet and milder than regular cooking onion. We slice it up finely and together with the garlic it adds wonderful flavor to the filling. Corn – corn adds a pop of color, plus who doesn’t love its sweet chewy taste? Black beans – black beans are rich in antioxidants, fiber, and a variety of vitamins. They give these wraps a boost of protein and texture. Seasonings – we use a mix of smoked paprika, sea salt, and pepper for seasoning. Feel free to add chili powder, cumin, or any other spices that you love. Swiss chard leaves – large swiss chard leaves will be easier to fill and roll, so buy the biggest ones you can find! You can also use collard greens instead. Sour cream, chopped cilantro, and lime juice – this is what we use as toppings but feel free to add other ingredients like salsa, guacamole, sliced avocado, or your favorite hot sauce.
Here’s how to make the filling in just two easy steps: This is how to assemble the wraps: These swiss chard wraps make a delicious complete meal on their own. Pair them with our spicy Mexican rice or Mexican cucumber salad to round out a festive Mexican-themed menu.
