How to Prepare Super Simple Collard Burritos [Vegan]

Rinse collards well and pat dry with a kitchen towel, then gently slice off the thick part of the stem that runs through the leaf, being careful not to tear the leaf. Then at the top, where the stem was cut, slice off a bit of each corner of the leaf.
Pile on the toppings, starting with the rice, spices, hot sauce, beans, and finishing with the peppers and salsa, leaving a third of the bottom and sides empty.
Fold closed as follows:
Grab the bottom third and fold it over the toppings, then grab the sides and fold over, keeping it closed with a toothpick threaded through.
Serve with guilt-free tortilla chips and dip of choice.
Enjoy!
