Collard Green Wrap with Curried Tahini

I know this looks like some kind of Atkins low-carb solution, but its totally not about that. Collard greens are just so awesome, nutritious and sturdy compared to the old Weight-Watchers classic lettuce wrap. And you know its alot better for you than the bread on a Subway sandwich. (I will stop referencing aggressively marketed weight loss plans now.)
This idea comes from my friend Tara, The Healthy Hippie, who has recently started a funny and informative magazine of the same name.
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cooking Time: 4 Minutes
Yield: 2 Servings
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp Tahini
Juice of ½ Lemon
½ Tsp Curry Powder
Pinch of Sea Salt
Assorted Vegetables, raw or lightly steamed if desired
2 Large Collard Green Leaves
Prepare assorted veggies by steaming, if desired. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, curry powder, sea salt and a splash of water (just add enough to get a consistency that appeals to you). Divide the vegetables and tahini mixture between the two collard leaves. Roll them up like a burrito, folding in the ends if possible. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and spray with a little olive or canola oil. Place wraps into the hot pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. Serve or pack into a lunch-bag for later, keeping wrap closed with a toothpick.
