Looking for an easy lunch idea that takes just a few minutes to throw together? These Chicken Avocado Collard Wraps are your next meal!
Just like Oprah, I love bread. Sandwiches, pizza, bagels or just a plain loaf with some butter. I don’t discriminate; I love it all. I rarely find myself truly enjoying a substitution for good ol’ carbs, but did you know that collard greens are used to make the most incredible wraps so you don’t need to waste calories on tortillas? OKAY maybe that’s not their main reason for existence, but it’s up there on my list.
These chicken avocado collard wraps are SO FLAVORFUL (hello horseradish), take just a few minutes to put together and will leave you wondering why you haven’t been using collard greens for wraps this whole time.
Pro tip: if you cut them into pinwheels they are just more fun to eat. Even your kids will love them!
