tortilla shmortilla

i don't really like to follow recipes unless i'm baking (and even then you'll often find me straying from the directions). most of the time i'm throwing together whatever i have in the fridge, and, surprisingly, i do a pretty good job of coming up with delicious new creations. i bought some fresh collard greens at whole foods yesterday and i decided to use them to make some healthy wraps for dinner tonight.

[the leaves are huge which makes them perfect for wraps]

the first ting i did was spread raw hummus on the leaves. despite what you might think when you hear the word "raw," raw hummus is actually incredible. i only buy raw hummus now that i've tried it.


the next thing i added was some whole garbanzo beans. although that might seem like chickpea overkill, i wanted to add some texture and bulk to the wraps.


next i added some brown rice and fresh tofu that i mixed with curry sauce. my favorite curry sauce right now is "mike's organic curry love."  it's organic, vegan, and magically delicious. i recommend the one pictured below or the medium one with the yellow label. both of them can be found at whole foods (or any other health food store).


the last thing i added was fresh spinach (to make it even greener than it already was). then i wrapped the whole thing up in a nice little burrito, and, voila!
speaking of burritos, my next iteration will be mexican-themed with black beans, daiya cheese, brown rice, and avocado.  yum!
