Collard greens are a sturdy alternative to regular sandwich wraps. They provide a little extra green in your day. If you need to keep your meal gluten-free, getting your grains via quinoa instead of a specialized processed wrap can be easier.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • ¼ cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 1 (15 oz.) can corn, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 Tbsp. salt-free southwest seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 bunch collard greens, stemmed

Directions

  1. Cook quinoa according to package directions.
  2. While quinoa is cooking, cook onion and pepper with vegetable broth in a small pan over medium heat until just soft (5-8 minutes).
  3. Once quinoa, peppers, and onions have finished cooking, stir the onion mixture, corn, beans, seasoning, and lemon juice into the quinoa.
  4. Divide quinoa mixture and sliced avocado evenly between collard leaves, rolling each into a wrap to serve.
