These Cajun-Spiced Collard Green Wraps are a delicious and healthy way to get your greens. The collard greens are wilted in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, onions, bell peppers, and Cajun seasoning. The wraps are simple to make and can be served on tortillas or bread. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the collard greens, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the skillet and cook until the collard greens are wilted, about 5 minutes.
Collard greens are a staple of Southern cuisine, and for good reason. They're packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, and they're a good source of fiber. But traditional collard greens can be a bit bland, so I decided to give them a Cajun twist. The result is a flavorful dish that's sure to please everyone at the table.
