Collard Green Wraps

Ingredients

• 6 large collard leaves (destemmed)
• 1/2 cup quinoa (cooked)
• 1/2 cup purple cabbage (sliced)
• 1/2 cup carrots (shredded)
• 1/2 cup tomatoes (chopped)
• 10-12 vegan nuggets
• vegan ranch (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

1. 1

   Prep the large collard leaves by slicing off the stems and shaving the back of the stem down with a small knife so it's flush with the leaf.

2. 2

   In a large wide skillet (large enough for the leaves to lay flat), boil 1-2 inches of water and submerge a few of the collard leaves at a time for one minute to blanch them. Remove and repeat with the remaining leaves. Blanching helps to soften the leaves so that they roll better.

3. 3

   Lay out three blanched leaves (overlapping) to form one large tortilla shape, and fill the center with your wrap ingredients. Layer in the fillings (quinoa, shredded carrots, purple cabbage, tomatoes, and plant-based nuggets or other meat substitute). Drizzle with a generous amount of vegan ranch or your preferred sauce.

4. 4

   Fold over the sides and roll it up tightly like a burrito using the collard leaves as your tortilla. Repeat with the rest of the collard leaves, using three at a time to create each large wrap. Slice in half and enjoy!
