Bok choy may seem like an unlikely choice of greens to use in tacos but their crunchy stems and chewy leaves add a nice textural contrast in this rendition. Canned chipotle peppers are an excellent flavor booster and give this spicy take-out favorite a wonderful smoky taste. Because a little of them will go a long way, you won’t use the entire can. Plan to store the leftover peppers in the refrigerator later in the week. Or to freeze, them divide the peppers among empty ice cube trays and place in freezer; remove the cubes from trays and transfer them to a frozen zip top bag.
