Quelites in Mexico are young tender growth from edible plants. They are wild greens and some flowers and can now be found at the markets. Some of the most popular are berro (watercrest), verdolaga (purslane), hoja santa, pápalo, turnip greens, and squash blossom. There are more than 350 types of quelites. There is so many ways to cook them and this is one of them.

Instructions

Cut the quelites into small pieces, wash them very well, and let them dry. In a pan, add the butter, and when it melts, add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent. Then, add the quelites and cover them with a lid to make them sweat for about 5 minutes. Add the beans, season with salt, and cook until the quelites are tender. I recommend you eat it in tacos in a fresh homemade flour tortilla.
