Collard Greens Burritos
Wash collard greens and trim stalks.
Use a paring knife to carefully remove the edge of the center spine that protrudes above the leaves.
Now, gently (and barely) score the exposed spine to make folding the leaf a bit easier.
Squeeze a lemon into water and submerge the leaves. Let soak for at least 10 minutes or until ready to use.
Peel, devein and remove tails from Shrimp. Slice lengthwise so Shrimp are cut in half.
Mince garlic, pull cilantro leaves from stems, slice lime and juice. If using canned beans, drain and rinse. Measure taco seasoning.
Heat large skillet with high sides over medium heat. Once hot, add oil and garlic. Cook garlic, stirring, for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add shrimp, beans, taco seasoning and lime juice to pan. Stir to coat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 6 minutes until shrimp are cooked through and just pink. If there is liquid pooled at the bottom of bean and shrimp mixture, I suggest draining so your burritos aren't as messy.
Drain collard leaves from soaking bath. Pat dry with paper towels and place two leaves on your work surface facing opposite directions with the spines over-lapping.
Spread 1/4 cup guacamole, taking care to leave a couple inches at each end for folding.
Next spoon approximately 1/2 cup of shrimp and bean mixture of guacamole. [img src="http://www.everydaymaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/IMG_6909.jpg" width="550"]
Top with 2 teaspoons of pico de gallo and a handful of cilantro leaves.
Fold the lower leaves onto the filling.
Now fold in the sides.
Press the filling down trying to make the burrito as tight as possible and continue to roll until closed. Use toothpicks to secure or a dab of guac as glue.
Serve and Enjoy!
