Basic Collard Wrap
Prepare a large skillet with 2 inches of water. Bring the water to a soft boil over medium heat and place the raw collard green leaves in the warm water. Let the leaves sit in the water for 20 seconds or until they’re bright green and tender.
Remove the leaves from the skillet and place face down on a flat surface.
Place your desired ingredients inside the center of the steamed collard green leaf and roll it up lengthwise like a burrito. Place a toothpick through the wrap to secure it and serve immediately.
