32 oz. can crushed tomatoes
1 tbsp. tomato paste
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon olive oil and chorizo. Cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then add swiss chard and garlic. Cook until wilted, 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add tomatoes, tomato paste, chili flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
