Rinse the collard green leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Lay each collard green leaf flat on a cutting board, and using a sharp knife, trim off the thick stem from the bottom, being careful not to cut into the leafy part.
Spread 2 tablespoons of hummus evenly over the center of each collard green leaf.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and distribute evenly onto the hummus-covered section of each leaf.
Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and slice into thin half-moons. Add these to the collard leaves.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Slice it thinly and layer onto the veggie wraps.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and scatter them over the wraps.
Thinly slice a quarter of the red onion and add these slices to the veggie wraps.
Peel the carrot and use a vegetable peeler to shave it into thin ribbons. Layer these on top of the other vegetables.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the vegetables in each wrap.
Season the veggies with a sprinkle of salt and black pepper.
To wrap, fold the sides of the collard leaf over the fillings, starting from the bottom, and then roll it up tightly like a burrito.
Serve immediately, optionally cut in half, and enjoy your nutritious low-carb veggie wrap!
