Collard Green Burritos
The ingredients for this recipe can vary depending on personal preference. Keep in mind each burrito will require one large collard green leaf.
Ingredients:
Directions: First wash your collard greens. Lay collard green leaves flat on a cutting board and cut off the steams at the base. Then using a knife or vegetable peeler, shave along the remaining part of the stem (this will help with the rolling process). Next prepare your filling ingredients. Once items are ready, it is time to fill your burrito. After filled to your liking, fold in on both sides and roll them up. Enjoy these green burritos as an alternative to the traditional tortilla wrapped ones.
** You can steam your collards prior to preparing your dish if you prefer a more tender wrap. Be sure to let them cool completely before filling. Also feel free to add shredded chicken, ground turkey or shrimp to your burritos.
