Summary

One of the beautiful things about this wrap is that you can use any veggies from your fridge or growing from your garden to make it your own. Beginning the day with leafy greens, like kale, collards, or romaine is the perfect way to jump-start your morning with nutrition. Once you spread the hummus on your green wrap, start adding your favorite veggies — and get ready for some creamy crunch to stimulate your palate and a variety of nutrients to energize your body!

Garden breakfast wrap

Ingredients

 1 cup creamy chickpea hummus (link in Chef’s Notes)
 4 forkfuls pickled onions (link in Chef’s Notes) +2 forkfuls if desired
 4 large leaves collard greens (or swiss chard, washed and allowed to dry)
 1 cucumber (julienned)
 1 carrot (julienned)
 4 radish (thinly sliced)
 1 avocado (seed removed, sliced into ½” slices)
 1 cup sprouts (broccoli, clover, or other sprouts of choice
 1 tsp oregano
 2 tbsp cilantro (optional) chopped +2 Tbsp as needed
 1 small lemon (juice, freshly squeezed)

Directions

1

Make the Creamy Chickpea Hummus and set aside.

2

Make the Pickled Red Onions and set aside.

3

Assemble your Garden Breakfast Wraps: Lay the collard greens or Swiss chard on your serving plates. (Cut off the long stem at the tail of the greens. Chop and use them in a stir-fry or soup!)

4

Spread ¼ cup of the Creamy Chickpea Hummus on each leafy green wrap.

5

Divide the cucumbers, carrots, radish, and avocado between each wrap, spreading out the veggies along the length of the greens but keeping them one inch from the top and bottom of the green so that you can fold them in.

6

Top the greens with sprouts, ¼ tsp oregano on each wrap, and 2–3 forkfuls of pickled onions.

7

Add cilantro, if desired, and squeeze lemon on top of each wrap before folding.

8

Fold in about an inch of the top and bottom of the lettuce wrap to keep the ingredients from falling out. Then, starting with one side of the collard leaf, roll your leaf into a wrap.

9

The leaves should stay closed but if they don’t, try spreading a few drops of water on the leafy green edge and press into the wrap. The water can work as a “glue” to keep it together.

Chef's Notes

Substitutions
If you have very large kale leaves, you can use those, too. Most kale leaves are not quite as large as collards, but you can certainly prepare smaller wraps. You can also use lettuce leaves for wraps. They aren't nearly as sturdy, however, so fill lightly.

Use any veggies you have on hand or are growing in your garden for the veggies inside the wrap.

Prep Ahead
Make the Creamy Chickpea Hummus ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 30.

Make the Pickled Red Onions ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 14 days.

Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
