Collard Green Wraps [+ Multiple Fillings]

Collard Green Wraps use large, steamed collard leaves as a sturdy, leafy alternative to traditional tortillas. The recipe features a filling of roasted diced sweet potatoes and a spiced mixture of chickpeas and textured vegetable protein (TVP). The wraps combine earthy greens, a slightly crispy potato component, and flavorful plant-based protein with seasoning. They can be rolled tightly for easy eating and customized with sauces and fillings for variation.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium potato (I used Japanese Sweet)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chickpeas cooked
  • ½ cup textured vegetable protein TVP
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 large collard greens leaves

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 450 (Tip: insert empty baking sheet into oven beforehand to heat up to create a crispier potato). Dice potatoes into small cubes, toss with olive oil, lay onto a heated baking sheet and top with salt and pepper. Bake 20 minutes or until crispy.
  2. On the stove over medium heat, toss chickpeas and TVP with enough water to coat the bottom of a small pan. Once TVP is activated (looks like taco meat) drain or burn off any excess water, and add cayenne, salt and pepper and heat for 3-4 minutes.
  3. For the wrap, place collard greens in a large pan with an inch of water. Cover and steam over medium heat until wilted. Remove from heat, drain water and set softened wraps aside.
  4. Once all components are ready, it's time to build the wraps. Divide the chickpea mixture between the two wraps followed by the diced potatoes and finally top with sriracha and/or your favorite vegan sandwich sauce. To roll the wraps, fold and tuck one of the long sides under the 'meat' then fold the two outer sides inwards, and roll the rest of the way.

Notes

  • Remove the tough stem from collard leaves by slicing off the ends and shaving the center for easier rolling.
  • Avoid overfilling the wraps to make rolling them easier and neater.
  • Use toothpicks to secure the wraps if they do not stay closed on their own.
  • Feel free to experiment with different fillings as you would with wheat tortillas.
