Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 wraps
Ingredients
- 4 large collard green leaves
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup hummus
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the collard green leaves under cool running water, ensuring all dirt and debris are removed.
- Carefully trim the thick stem at the bottom of each collard leaf, creating a more flexible surface for wrapping by making the stem slightly thinner without cutting through the leaf.
- Place each collard leaf flat on a clean cutting board with the darker green side facing down and the stem running vertically.
- Spread a thin, even layer of hummus across the bottom third of each collard leaf, leaving a small margin around the edges to prevent spillage.
- Layer the shredded carrots evenly over the hummus, creating a colorful and textured base for the wrap.
- Arrange sliced bell peppers horizontally across the carrots, distributing them uniformly for balanced flavor and texture.
- Place avocado slices on top of the bell peppers, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Carefully fold the bottom edge of the collard leaf over the ingredients, then fold in the side edges to create a tight seal.
- Roll the wrap upward firmly but gently, pressing slightly to maintain the compact shape.
- Optional: Slice the wrap diagonally in half for easier handling and serving.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, crisp textures and vibrant flavors of the raw vegan wrap.
Tips
- Choose fresh, large collard green leaves that are flexible and free from tears or blemishes.
- To make the leaves even more pliable, you can briefly blanch them in hot water for 10-15 seconds, then immediately cool in ice water.
- When spreading hummus, leave a small border around the edges to prevent ingredients from spilling out.
- For added flavor, consider adding herbs like cilantro or mint to your wrap.
- If you're meal prepping, wrap each collard wrap tightly in parchment paper to keep them fresh and intact.
- For extra protein, consider adding hemp seeds or tofu to your filling.
- Experiment with different hummus flavors like roasted red pepper or garlic to keep things interesting!
