Greens and Red Cabbage Wrap

Today for lunch I had a wonderful meal inspired by my friend Elizabeth Yates.Total party in my mouth!

1 Tablespoon (or so) olive oil
1 small onion, sliced
a bunch of garlic cloves (I lost count) minced
1 bunch greens (collards for me today), washed and cut into bite size pieces
1/2 red cabbage cut into bite size pieces
shredded cheese to taste*
2-3 slices of fresh avocado
salt and pepper to taste
whole wheat tortilla

I put the olive oil in a cold skillet, turned on the heat to medium-low, added the onion, coated it with the oil and let it sit a while (so I could unload the dishwasher). After the onion began to look clear, I added the garlic and mixed it with the onion. Then I threw in the greens and cabbage and tossed it all around a little, then let it sit with a lid for a few minutes until the greens were tender, but still crisp and green.
I put the mixture in the tortilla, sprinkled sea salt and freshly ground pepper, shredded some cheese, and topped it all off with several slices of avocado. Yummy in my tummy!

*Earth Fare was giving away Irish cheese this week, which kicked up this dish several notches.Check out their web-site here to find a store near you and sign up for the weekly coupon. A couple of weeks ago the coupon was a free pound of fair trade coffee and a box of granola. They don't play with their giveaways!
