Collard green wraps with lunchmeat ... the perfect way to make your wrap low carb and get your greens in!

I am so excited about these collard green wraps ... they are fantastic. I bought a fresh bunch of collards and blanched them, then used just one leaf as a wrap for sandwich fixings. SO GOOD. Finished product was delicious. I used some rotisserie chicken lunchmeat, two sliced Vlasic no sugar added sweet gherkins, a little mayo and mustard, and two baby portabella mushrooms, sliced. Wrapped it like a burrito and cut in half. All together, about 6 net carbs. It would have only been 4 if I had opted for deli or yellow mustard instead of the sweet and spicy honey, which had 2 carbs by itself.
To blanch your collard green leaves, just put each leaf in a pot of simmering water, take it out after about 15 seconds, then put in an ice water bath and dry off. You're done.

The finished product. I love the consistency of the collard green leaves. Holds together great!
