🌯🍠🍃 Collard Green Wraps 🍃🍠🌯
Author: Lauren Bossi (Plant Based on a Budget)

These vegan collard wraps are easy (and fun) to make and customize with any of your favorite fillings. We’ve included the recipe for a potato and chickpea filling (packed with fiber and protein!) and several other recommendations. No matter which you choose, these stuffed collard green rolls are fresh, filling, nutritious, and satisfying while remaining budget-friendly and able to prepare in as little as 10 minutes.

Ingredients

🌯 1 medium potato (I used Japanese Sweet)
🌯 1 teaspoon of olive oil
🌯 Salt and pepper to taste
🌯 1 cup of cooked chickpeas
🌯 ½ cup of textured vegetable protein (TVP)
🌯 ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
🌯 2 large collard green leaves

Instructions

🍠 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 tough stem: It's super fibrous, hard to eat, AND makes it harder to roll the collard wraps. Slice off the ends, then shave what's left.

🍃 Don't overstuff the filling: Otherwise, you'll struggle to roll the collard greens wraps.

🍃 To seal: If they struggle to stay wrapped, a toothpick will help hold them together.

🍃 Experiment with fillings: Treat these collard green wraps like regular wheat wraps and mix and match the fillings as much as you'd like.

About Decapot Eggs

On the underside of expectant Decapot mothers is an egg mass that is bound by a clay-like substance. These muddy clumps often consist of up to a hundred thousand tiny eggs that, after two weeks of incubation, are released into the shallow waters of Ark Bay to hatch en masse.

About the Decapot Creature

The shallow basin on their carapace is filled with nutrient-dense soil that has been scooped up from the forested shorelines of Ark Bay. A diverse selection of plants is thoughtfully arranged atop this soil by the Decapod to both provide clever camouflage in the dense jungle foiliage and to be used in brilliant courtship displays.

A yearly migration occurs during the late summer season where several thousands of these canopied crustaceans will trek across the beaches of Ark Bay to drop off their many eggs into the water. This mass migration event has attracted such an annual crowd that the Ark City Floral Festival was established in honor of it.
