After seeing these wraps in a vegan restaurant, I thought “how easy!”. You can also use rice paper, seaweed, or lettuce as a wrap. I used collard greens because I never eat them. I like my recipe so much because it is pretty satisfying with the tahini, avocado, and beans.
Ingredients:
- Collard greens (or large leaves of lettuce, etc)
- Tahini (about 1-2 Tbsp)
- Fresh lime juice, about 1/4 of a lime
- 1/2 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup beans (I used leftover bean salad)
- a few shavings of fresh onion
- 1/2 avocado
- hot sauce to taste
- salt to taste
- cilantro
- salsa for dipping/serving
- Trim the long stem from the collard greens. Lay it flat with the dark green side down.
- Spread the tahini and lime juice on the greens, then add the peppers, beans, onions, avocado, hot sauce, salt, and cilantro evenly.
- Roll the green up like a burrito (The sides will likely have to remain open. That's ok, I used toothpicks to hold them in place).
- Serve with salsa, enjoy!
