Cut the various veggies into bite-sized pieces: zucchini into matchsticks, carrots shredded, red cabbage thinly sliced, and tomatoes chopped.

Wash the collard greens and cut out and remove the thick stem.

Shave the center vein of the collard greens to thin it out.

Into a pot of boiling water, add the collard leaf for 10 to 20 seconds to soften it and help make it more digestible.

Remove the collard leaf from the boiling water and immediately place it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

Pat dry the wet collard leaf and prepare to fill it.

Add hummus to the lower portion of the collard leaf.

Add the pre-cut veggies on top of the hummus.

Start rolling the leaf from the bottom, turning in the sides before finishing the roll.

Once a nice wrap has been formed, you can cut it in half or eat it whole.
