Swiss Chard is one of the super-stars of the greens world. Packed with vitamin K, vitamin A and vitamin C, it is also a great source of magnesium, potassium, iron, vitamin E, and fiber! You will also find a good source of copper, calcium, vitamin B2, and B6. Don’t forget the protein, B1, zinc, folate, biotin, niacin and pantothenic acid! Seriously. We need to eat this veggie!

Made these today and did not have jicama….it is hard to get here on the North East Coast….so I subbed broccoli stem, and I added chili powder because I don’t have chipotle spice, and I used a purple onion instead of a sweet one, plus added a small bit of garlic….YUM!!! TY for the inspiration and the recipe! I would attach a pic if I could! 🙂
