Put down those tortillas, this year is the year of collard green wraps! Ok, I’m totally kidding. I could never give up tortillas, and I wouldn’t expect you to either. But in the spirit of all things lighter and brighter, we’re wrapping things up in leafy greens…
In order to make collard green wraps exciting, a punchy, flavorful filling is a must. I had these pretty red carrots, which made me think of this Harissa Carrot Hummus recipe I had recently seen from Aida Mollenkamp. I took a few liberties, (mostly because I was too lazy to go look up the actual recipe). Among other things, I pan-roasted my carrots to add a slightly smoky flavor and squeezed in some orange for a nice bright kick.
Feel free to play around with the rest of the filling. I added chickpeas, millet, shaved carrots, cabbage, and a big sprinkling of hemp seeds. Wrap it all up like a taco and enjoy for lunch or a light dinner! Want more healthy lunch ideas? Try this kale salad or this noodle bowl, or check out this post for my favorite lunch-packing tips!
