Begin by washing and drying the collard green leaves. Carefully slice off the thick part of the stem at the base to allow for easier rolling later on.
Trim off any remaining thick parts of the veins throughout the leaf to make them more pliable. Set aside.
Cut the red bell pepper into thin strips. Place in a bowl.
Peel the cucumber and cut into matchstick-sized pieces. Add to the bowl with the bell pepper.
Peel the carrot and use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin ribbons, or cut into thin matchstick pieces. Add to the vegetable mix.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice into thin strips.
Halve the cherry tomatoes. Add to the vegetable mixture.
Thinly slice the red onion and add to the vegetable mix.
In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Add the lemon juice mixture to the bowl of vegetables and toss gently to make sure everything is evenly coated.
Lay out one collard green leaf and spread 2 tablespoons of hummus across the center of the leaf.
Across the hummus, place a portion of the mixed vegetables, along with a few slices of avocado.
Carefully fold the sides of the collard leaf over the filling, then roll the leaf up tightly like a burrito.
Repeat the process with the remaining leaves and filling.
Slice each wrap in half if desired and serve immediately.
