Very great mostly raw dish. :) I'm sure the collard leaf also helps cut down on some of the calories.

The Best Collard Wraps 

Ingredients

4 collard leaves

1/2 cup hummus (any variety)

1 cup cooked quinoa

1 medium cucumber

1 medium tomato

2 carrots , grated

1 avocado , sliced

1/2 cup sprouts

Instructions

first, To cook the leaves: Fill a skillet 1" high with water. Bring the water to a boil then, one at a time, submerge the collard leaves into the water allowing them to cook for 15 - 20 seconds. Move the leaves around in the water (flip if necessaruntil the whole leaf has turned bright green and is cooked. 

next, Repeat with remaining leaves. Allow the leaves to cool completely.

then, To prepare the leaves: When ready to assemble, carefully cut the stem out of the leaf. Start towards the top, run your knife along the rib of the leaf, being careful not to cut a hole in the leaf itself. Cut all the way to the bottom of the stem and cut the stem off.

To assemble: divide all the ingredients into four. Spread the hummus into the center of each leaf, then top with quinoa, cucumber, tomato, carrot, sliced avocado and finishing with the sprouts.

To fold the wraps: fold in the sides. Take the edge facing you and fold it over the ingredients. Roll away from you as tightly as possible.

Store the wraps whole and enjoy for 2 - 3 days.
