I absolutely love collard green wraps. They are so easy and versatile. You can stuff them with anything and it’s also a great way to get more vegetables into your family’s diet. And, they couldn’t be any easier to prepare. So in today’s post, I am going to share a quick and easy method to prepare collard green leaves for wraps.
How to prepare collard greens for Wraps:
You can easily prepare these at the beginning of the week, store them in the fridge and have them to grab whenever you need to make a quick meal. Like I said before, you can stuff these with anything you like. Make a breakfast burrito, a delicious wrap for dinner, or make a loaded burrito for dinner. The possibilities are endless.
Prepared Collard Greens are sturdy and a great source of nutrients.
You can store your prepared collard green leaves in a glass container with a tight lid and keep it in the fridge for 2-3 days. This makes for easy Meal prep. Just grab a wrap and stuff it with whatever you like. Makes for a quick, easy, delicious and healthy meal.
Our BLT wrap is the perfect place to start to
Perfect instructions and super easy! Followed them to a tee and ended up with amazing collard wraps! Love you and everything you post!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed this Emily! It is life changing, right?
This is awesome! Trying your BLT wraps tonight! Thanks girl!!
Yas! That’s what I like to hear!
This is so perfect! I’m so glad I found these prep instructions. I was thinking about how “tough” collards tend to be raw but how sturdy they are for a wrap. This prep will make them an easy go-to FOREVER! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome love! It really is a game changer!
Hi Charlotte,
Quick question – is there an alternative to keeping the wraps in a glass container? I don’t own a top to my glass containers. Was thinking of just using a large Ziploc.
That’s perfect 👍🏾 Just wrap them in a damp paper towel and then put them in the ziplock bag.
Thanks, I gave it a try, and they seemed to come out well! Also made your crispy chicken thighs last night, and they were amazing!
Thank you so much for sharing Jennifer! Those chicken thighs are so yummy so glad you enjoyed them.
Hi there! I’ve been using collards for wraps for a few years, always struggling with how to get around the stem until I found you. This is the best method ever!!! Thank you so much for putting in the time to share this.
Oh, I am so happy this is helpful for you! That is always my goal to make sure every person who visits finds a recipe or tutorial that is helpful to them. Thank you so much for sharing.
Can you freeze these to use later
I wouldn’t recommend that. Just store it in the fridge for 6-7 days maximun.
I like to meal prep for my lunch the day or two before. Do you know if these wraps will last a day or two or should I make the wraps the day of?
Thank you 🙂
You can prep the collard green wraps themselves a few days ahead of them. Then just fill them on the day.
Game Changer!!! I am trying to stay away from high carbs…ie rice paper wraps! This is going to be awesome. I have a bunch of collards in my yard still. I can’t wait to make your “Spring Rolls with Peanut sauce”. Thanks so much.
YAY!! I am so glad you find this helpful Winn!! Can’t wait to hear what you think of the peanut sauce!
Maybe I am a little late to the “game” here, but I wanted to post a “gracias” anyway. I am a big leafy greens imbiber and was wondering if collards could be used as wraps. I sought this information via a search engine and found your “awesome sauces”. Like dark, leafy greens, it changes my life! Thank you! I have enjoyed these splendours with this recipe and I shall keep it up however long I can.
I hope you’re having fun in this odd and interesting time of of humanity and many blessings!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! ! !
Hi Daryl! Thank you so much for your kind words I’m so glad you enjoy this! And i hope you are having fun and finding joy in this time as well.
This is most brilliant! Made them tonight – super easy process, and they work better than any other tortilla substitute I’ve tried – romaine, butter lettuce, celery root, etc. Thank you so much for sharing! I’ll be making them weekly.
YAY! I’m so happy you find this so helpful. Thank you so much for supporting love.
