Wash and disinfect all the vegetables well. Take a chard leaf and fill it with 2 squares of ham and 2 squares of panela cheese to form "pancakes" or squares of chard filled with ham and cheese. Brown the pancakes on both sides in a skillet with a little oil and season. Add the blended tomato, onion, garlic, and chipotle pepper to the blender and blend until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. Pour the blender sauce into the skillet where we are browning the pancakes and cook for 5 more minutes; if necessary, season again. Serve the chard pancakes on a plate and finish with grated parmesan and fresh cilantro leaves.
