Total Time

Servings

Ingredients:


  • 4 large collard green leaves (or other sturdy leafy greens)
  • 200g grilled picanha steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 small avocado, sliced
  • 50g queijo coalho (Brazilian cheese), grated
  • 2 tablespoons Brazilian chimichurri sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: a dash of hot sauce

Cooking Instructions


  1. Prepare the Collard Greens: Wash and pat dry the collard green leaves. Trim the thick stem at the bottom of each leaf to make them easier to roll.

  2. Cook the Cheese: Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the grated queijo coalho and cook until it begins to melt and form a crispy layer, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. Assemble the Sandwich: Lay two collard green leaves flat on a clean surface, slightly overlapping. Spread 1 tablespoon of Brazilian chimichurri sauce evenly over the leaves.

  4. Layer the Ingredients: Place half of the sliced picanha steak on the greens, followed by half of the avocado slices. Add a portion of the crispy cheese, sprinkle with lime zest, and season with salt and pepper. Add hot sauce if desired.

  5. Roll and Serve: Carefully roll the collard greens into a tight wrap, tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat the process for the second sandwich. Serve immediately.
