Three ways you win by making these incredibly fresh wraps:
- You get to use up your leftover roast chicken in a delicious way.
- You will feel amazing from ALLLLL the fresh veggies.
- Your taste buds will sing.
This is less of an exact recipe and more of a “build your own” kind of a thing. If you love red peppers and dislike jicama (but WHHHHHY would you dislike jicama?) than load up on the peppers. My favorite combo is about equal amounts of varied veggies, extra jalepenos and herbs, and a nice amount of sauce.
When you prepare the collards, just remove any really thick parts of the woody stem. 
These will keep well for 2 days in the fridge so if you REALLY want to be winning, make these for a few week day lunches! (Depending on when you roasted your chicken: leftover chicken is good for 3-4 days.)
Just make them, its the right thing to do I think:)
