Collard Wraps with Veggies & White Bean Spread
Collard Wraps with Veggies & White Bean Spread
Collard leaves are bigger and stronger than most lettuce leaves so you can make burrito-like wraps. The creamy Great Northern Bean spread is similar to hummus so it's the perfect complement to the veggies.

VEGETABLE FILLING
- 1 large bell pepper, julienned
