Instructions
The Filling
Heat the oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sweet potatoes and cook for 5 - 8 minutes.
1 large sweet potato, 1 tablespoon olive oil
Add chorizo for 3 more minutes until it releases its oil and then add the onion and garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the corn, black beans, paprika, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 more minute.
1 cup chopped chorizo, 1 small red onion, 1 clove garlic, ½ cup corn, ½ cup black beans, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon EACH: salt and pepper
The Wraps
Cut the stem from each leaf, removing the big vein from the center by slicing down the side of the spine if thick.
4 large swiss chard leafs
Bring a large pot of water to a simmer. Prepare a large bowl of iced water. Working in batches, drop 1 leaf in hot water for 20 to 30 seconds until it is soft and rollable. Immediately plunge the leaf into the iced water to stop the cooking process, then place it on a sheet of paper towel and pat dry. Repeat for all the remaining leaves.
Place the sweet potato and the chorizo in the center of the chard leaf and top with some sour cream, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Fold the sides of the leaf on top of the filling, then tightly roll from the stem to the top of the leaf to form a wrap. Slice the wraps in half with a sharp knife and serve immediately.
