Best Jerk Chicken Collard Wrap Recipes

HOW TO MAKE COLLARD WRAPS

Steps:

• Cut the stem off of the collard green leaf and then carefully shave it down using a small knife so that it's flat. This will help prevent the collard leaf from breaking at the end and make it easier to roll up.
• Add any veggies, protein and/or sauces to the middle-bottom of each collard leaf, or evenly divide a salad recipe onto each leaf.
• Carefully roll the collard wrap up just like you would with a burrito, tucking in the ends as you go so that the filling stays inside.
• Cut your collard wraps in half and enjoy!
