Equipment

  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients

Buffalo "Chicken" Rainbow Wraps

  • 8 large collard leaves make sure you select very large collard leaves - bigger than your face, with very few holes/tears
  • 14 oz canned young green jackfruit, rinsed and drained make sure to buy young jackfruit, not ripe jackfruit
  • 1/3 C buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 C red cabbage, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 firm avocado, sliced
  • 2 carrots, julienned
  • 2 C lettuce, chopped
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped

Tahini Smashed Chickpeas

  • 14 oz canned chickpeas, drained
  • 2 TBSP tahini
  • 1 TBSP buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt and pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

To Serve

  • Spicy Vegan Ranch
  • Buffalo Sauce

Instructions

  • Use your fingers to pull apart and shred the jackfruit and place in a bowl. Season with Buffalo sauce and spices and mix well. Spread on parchment lined baking sheet and roast in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove and drizzle with extra Buffalo sauce.
  • Cut broad stems off the base of the collard leaves. Bring a large pot water to a boil. Submerge each leaf into the boiling water for 10-15 seconds and transfer immediately to an ice bath. Set aside to dry.
  • Add all ingredients for smashed chickpeas to a bowl and use a fork to mash and combine. Should be a chunky texture. Season to taste.
  • Lay one leaf with the spine parallel to you on a clean, dry surface. Layer toppings in the middle - I like to start with chickpeas, followed by avocado, peppers and cabbage, and ending with the jackfruit and fluffy greens. Fold in sides first and then the side closest to you, rolling tightly away from you ending with the seam side down.
  • Serve wraps chilled with vegan ranch and buffalo sauce.
