Arugula was my second guess but it seems a little flat to the ground to me. At any rate, it’s safe for you and your tortoise, whichever of you likes it.
Hahaha!!! I absolutely do not ?? idk but the taste is well... never-mind
It doesn’t look like the arugula I get in the store. This one looks more circular the other one is edgy. Thanks anyways

Ok, I’m going to throw a curve ball here and disagree with the sunflower ID. The leaves in the pix just appear way to narrow. Sunflower should have much broader, oval to almost heart-shaped leaves. I would also expect we should be seeing at least a little bit of the actual flower bud/blossom forming. Even young sunflowers show the flower bud pretty quickly in their development. Of course, it could be some odd variant. Have to wait & see.

MANY different kinds of Sunflowers.

It’s called “Saluyot” here in the Philippines. It’s a leafy vegetable often fed to Sulcata.

All I can say is that if I knew what it was...
It was because I read the little plant ID stick. Love those things...?

I’m fairly sure it is not saluyot. I feed saluyot all the time, it’s a great food. But the leaves are much smaller and bunched together on the end of each stalk, not one per stalk. It does look like it in the first picture but I think it’s because OP is holding several leaves at once. It’s not native to OP’s area.

Ok... here's my 2 cents...lol. I work in a garden nursery and noticed plants in the background. I thought i saw nasturium leaves in background but was hard to tell. Regardless, Did you have a garden there at all? By chance did you have any type of sage growing? My leaf experience tells me it could be a type of salvia which is a herbaceous perennial which has an erect stalk like that but hard to ID so young without flowers but if you did in the past and they went to see you could Just have a volunteer growing from previous planting or bird donation.
