Collard Green Wraps

Collard Green Wraps

Use your collard greens instead of a tortilla to wrap up your favorites!  

Makes 4 wraps

INGREDIENTS

• 4 large Collard Green leaves, with stems
• Filling of choice: browned ground beef, rice, beans, quinoa, and any of your favorite sautéed veggies!  You can also use a leftover stir fry.  
• Optional Greens of choice: chopped herbs, microgreens, or lettuce.  
• Optional Sauce:
  • Yogurt Sauce
    • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
    • handful of chopped herbs like basil, mint, parsley, or cilantro
    • splash of lemon juice
    • sea salt, to taste
  • Miso Tahini Sauce
    • 1/4 cup Tahini
    • 2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
    • 1 Tablespoon lemon or lime juice
    • 1 teaspoon white miso
    • Sea Salt, to taste
  • Other favorite sauce or dressing! 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Steam Collard Greens by placing on top of the filling you are cooking and cover, letting steam for 5-10 minutes each.
2. If you are not cooking a filling at the time, bring water in a wide saucepan to a boil.  Hold each collard leaf by its stem and dip into the boiling water, submerging for about 20 seconds each, or until collard leaf looks brighter and tender.  
3. Let cool on a clean towel.  
4. Make the wrap by laying each collard leaf flat, and then scooping your filling into the center of the leaf lengthwise.  Add any greens and sauce.  
5. Carefully tuck the stem up onto your filling, and then wrap the sides together as you would a burrito.  The stem end is the bottom of your wrap.  
6. Repeat for each leaf.  
7. Enjoy!

NOTES:

This works great as a breakfast wrap too!  

The key that we’ve found to making these easy to eat is keeping the stem on the collard, and tucking it into the filling.  You will get a bit of an extra crunch in your wrap, but it’s tasty and healthy, and keeps things less messy!
