Ingredients

  • 8 large collard green leaves
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or canned)
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh lime juice for drizzling
  • Optional: salsa or hot sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Collard Greens: Blanch the collard green leaves in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until tender. Remove and shock them in ice water to stop the cooking process. Pat dry and set aside.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, diced bell pepper, corn, avocado, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Assemble the Burritos: Lay a collard green leaf flat and spoon a portion of the filling onto the center. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
  4. Serve: Drizzle fresh lime juice over the assembled burritos and serve with salsa or hot sauce on the side.
