Rainbow Collard Greens Vegan Wraps With Curry Quinoa
Rainbow vegan collard wraps stuffed with curry quinoa, sprouts, chopped spinach and other veggies.. topped with a mouth-watering oil free cilantro sunflower seed sauce.
Ingredients
Ingredients for burritos:
- collard green leaves – one leaf makes one wrap (washed and with stem trimmed)
- cooked curry quinoa (1 cup dry + 1.5 cups water + 1/4 tsp salt + 1/2 tsp muchi curry powder)
- 2 – 3 shredded carrots
- 1 – 2 sliced red bell peppers (keep them raw for crunch)
- 1 – 2 sliced avocados
- broccoli sprouts (or any green sprouts of your choice)
- sauerkraut
- chopped spinach
- optional walnut meat
cilantro sunflower seed sauce:
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 3 garlic cloves
- a handful of cilantro (around 1/2 cup roughly chopped)
- 1 teaspoon of onion and garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- the juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 3/4 cup of water
Instructions
- Make the quinoa. Bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil, and add 1 cup of dry quinoa, salt, and muchi curry powder. Bring down the heat to a low simmer and cook until quinoa is dry and fluffy. For more details on how to cook quinoa check out this post.
- Prepare the veggies. Slice the bell peppers, chop the spinach, cut up the avocados, shred the carrots (I use a food processor with a shredding blade for this) and prepare the rest of the fillings such as sprouts, sauerkraut and walnut meat.
- Make the cilantro sunflower sauce. Add all ingredients to a blender and combine until smooth.
- Stuff the wraps using collard green leaves – I like to start off with the quinoa first as a base and then start topping it off with the veggies, add some sauce, and roll them up. Collard greens are a little tricky because they break much easier than tortillas, but you can watch this video that really helped me learn how to roll them. The biggest takeaway I have is to trim the middle stem a bit with a pairing knife because this will help the leaves be more flexible and less likely to break.
- Cut wraps in half, top with some tasty cilantro sunflower seed sauce and enjoy!
