Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
Chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes. When working with hot peppers, wear protective gloves.
Trim leaves from beets; reserve beets for another use. Wash beet leaves thoroughly; pat dry with paper towels. If desired, remove stems and ribs; discard. Coarsely chop beet leaves; set aside.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion for 5 minutes or until softened. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute. Stir in beet leaves, beans and stock. Cook for 4 minutes or until leaves are wilted. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Wrap tortillas in paper towels and heat in microwave on 100% power (high) for 20 seconds.
- Stack two tortillas together. Using a slotted spoon, spoon some of the bean-and-greens mixture onto tortilla stack; top with cheese and Carrot Pico De Gallo. Drizzle with hot sauce. Serve immediately.
