Collard Wraps (Alkaline, GF, Raw, Vegan)

Looking for more ways to get greens in your diet? But don't want it to be salads or funky tasting smoothies? Like wraps, but don't want to calories from the tortilla? Ever thought about using a collard green instead? It works quite well actually, it's just smaller than a tortilla, so you will have to make a few of them. Kind of like a taco. You don't taste the collard too much, and collards are more sturdy than lettuce is, so it won't tear apart while you are eating it quite so easily. Plus, as we all know, collards have a lot more nutrients in them than a lettuce leaf does.

I generally start with some type of spread on the collard, like pesto, hummus, cheese sauce or tahini. From there I just put things that I like on it. Changes each time. On these ones I made some of the cheese from the Kale Chips and dehydrated just that to use as a (dairy free, nonprocessed, raw) cheese crumble on salads and wraps. Some of the ingredients I frequently use and all taste good together are:

allfalfa sprouts
spinach
tomatoes
sundried tomatoes
bell peppers
carrots
avocado
Bragg sprinkle
RealSalt
hemp seeds
cucumber
zucchini
