Vegan Collard Green Wraps

I'd be lying if I said these collard green wraps aren't a bit messy to put together.

But I'd also be lying if I said they weren't absolutely delicious and worth the mess.

They're stuffed with loads of crunchy, fresh veggies, creamy hummus and rich avocado to make for a filling, satisfying and nutritious lunch.

How to make vegan collard green wraps

Featured Ingredients

• Collard leaves: These dark green leaves will become the "wrap" for hummus, veggies and avocado.
• Hummus: A yummy, garlicky spread that will hold everything in the wrap together.
• Avocado: Sliced creamy avocado will add richness and avocado flavor to the wrap.
• Bell pepper: Any color, sliced into sticks.
• Cucumber: And English cucumber works best because it doesn't have many seeds; just like it into sticks (with the skins).
• Red cabbage: You can shred a head yourself or buy a bag of pre-shredded.
• Carrots: Same as the cabbage, you can shred them yourself or buy them pre-shredded.
• Sprouts: An optional add-in.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Lay collard leaves flat on a cutting board. Spread the hummus in the center of each leaf.
2. Evenly stack the avocado slices, bell pepper slices, cucumber, cabbage, carrot and alfalfa sprouts, if using.
3. Fold the ends in and roll like a burrito. Slice each wrap in half.
