Easy Nutrient-Dense Collard Wraps
These collard wraps are a super filling alternative to a burrito! Maybe it not the same (actually I know it's not the same!) but it is a great lunchtime snack!!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 large collard leaves , bottom rib removed (see photo) - the bigger they are, the easier they are to roll
- 1/4 cup pancetta (or bacon), chopped (optional)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 small onion, chopped
- 2 cup cooked green (swiss chard, spinach, beet greens, bok choy, chicory)
- 6 large eggs, beaten you can use egg whites instead if you like
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a skillet with a few inches of boiling water, soften the collard leaves for a few minutes; place on cutting board
- In another skillet, cook pancetta (if using) until crisp. Add onion and cook until soft.
- Add cooked greens and season to taste; mix well.
- Add beaten eggs, and continue mixing until cooked through.
- Place mixture on collard leaf and roll tightly until mixture is fully enclosed. Continue with the remaining three leaves.
- Cut in half and serve - knife and fork might make it less messy to eat ;))
Notes
If you'd like this to be more filling, feel free to add cooked ground beef/veal/bison or cooked, chopped chicken.
