Prepare the collard greens: Wash the leaves thoroughly and pat them dry. Trim off the thick stem at the bottom of each leaf to make them easier to roll, but keep the leaves intact.
Make the tahini dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic powder, salt, and water until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with additional water if needed.
Slice the vegetables: Thinly slice the cucumber, carrot, and red bell pepper into matchstick-sized pieces.
Assemble the wraps: Lay one collard green leaf flat on a clean surface. Spread half of the tahini dressing in the center of the leaf.
Add the fillings: Layer half of the sliced avocado, cucumber, carrot, red bell pepper, and sprouts on top of the dressing, keeping the fillings in the center of the leaf.
Wrap it up: Fold in the sides of the collard leaf, then roll it up tightly like a burrito. Repeat with the second collard leaf and remaining fillings.
Serve: Slice each wrap in half and enjoy immediately. For best results, consume fresh to maintain the crunch and flavor of the vegetables.
