Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup chopped red onion
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced
  • pinch of cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth low sodium
  • 6-8 medium collard green leaves don't use small or else you won't be able to roll these like burritos and it will be a mess!
  • 1 cup guacamole
  • 1 cup black beans
  • 1 cup cooked rice I used brown rice

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Once oil is shimmering, add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Season with cumin, chili powder, and salt and pepper. Stir and add the vegetable broth. Cook until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Wipe out the skillet and add a collard leaf, press down with a spatula for 5 seconds, flip, and repeat. Continue with all collard leaves until all are warmed. Then, halve the thickness of the collard stems by slicing horizontally down the stem. Set aside.
  • Gather all of your filling ingredients. Set out a collard leaf on a clean, flat surface. In the middle of the leaf, spread out 2 tablespoons of guacamole. Top with 2 tablespoons each of the black beans and the bell pepper mixture, and then finish with 2 tablespoons of the brown rice. Fold the ends of the collard leaves inward and start to roll your burrito, packing everything in tightly as you go. Finish seam side down. Repeat until all ingredients are used up. Serve.
