Healthy Recipe: Collard Green Fajita Wraps

Don’t let the greens fool you.

These collard green fajita wraps are not only delicious, but they are gluten-free and a unique way to make sure you get your greens! The hot ingredients steam the inside of the wrap, making it crisp and fresh, but easy to chew.

Unlike tortilla shells, collards don’t break apart on you, making them a mess-free dish. Did I mention it also saves you the calories other tortilla shells add on? A win-win for both taste and health!
