Directions

  1. Steam the cabbage leaves: Gently peel off 8–10 whole cabbage leaves and steam them for 2–3 minutes until flexible. Set aside to cool.
  2. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, mixed greens, carrots, and scallions. Drizzle with avocado oil and toss well.
  3. Assemble: Lay out a steamed cabbage leaf, place a generous scoop of filling in the center, and roll it up like a burrito. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.
  4. Serve: Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Perfect for quick lunches or a fresh post-workout bite!

Pro Tips

  • Don’t over-steam the leaves: A couple of minutes is all it takes—any longer and they get too soft to hold the filling.
  • Pat the leaves dry: Removing excess moisture keeps the wraps from getting soggy.
  • Chill the filling first: A cold filling is easier to roll and keeps the wraps crisp.
  • Use rotisserie chicken: It’s a huge time-saver and adds great flavor without extra cooking.
  • Roll tightly: Tuck the sides in as you roll, like a burrito, so the filling stays put.
  • Meal-prep friendly: Store in an airtight container with a paper towel to absorb moisture—they keep for up to 3 days.
