Whole Food, Plant-Based Recipe Collard Green Power Lunch Wraps

Ingredients

• 1 bunch collard greens
  

• 1 cup shredded carrots
  
• 1 cup red quinoa, cooked
  
• 1 cup red cabbage, shredded
  
• 1 cup black beans, cooked
  
• 1 pack of medium firm tofu

Instructions

1. Prepare the collard greens by washing them thoroughly. Cut the tip of the stem off.
2. Lay collard greens flat and slowly glide a paring knife across the main stem. Leave some of the stem remaining.
3. Boil some water in a pan. Dip the stem first then the whole collard leaf into the water for 20 to 30 seconds.
4. Immediately after removing from the hot water, run under cold water or put in an ice water bath. Your wraps are ready to be filled! Set aside
5. Prepare a non-stick pan to grill tofu. Cut the tofu in long strips and season.
6. Cook for 5 minutes until tofu creates a crust. Flip it over after 5 minutes or less, depending on the thickness of the tofu strips.
7. Alternatively, prepare the tofu in the oven. Heat oven at 350°F for 15 minutes or longer, depending on preferred texture.
