Rinse and pat dry the collard greens leaves. Trim the thick stems at the bottom if needed to create a flat base for wrapping.
Dice the tomatoes into small cubes and set them aside in a bowl.
Chop the fresh basil leaves roughly and add them to the tomatoes.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop out the flesh. Dice the avocado and add it to the tomato and basil mixture.
Roll the lemon on the countertop to release the juices, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice over the tomato, basil, and avocado mixture.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the mixture, then season with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Toss the mixture gently until all ingredients are evenly combined and coated with the oil and seasonings.
Lay out one collard green leaf on a flat surface, and place a quarter of the tomato and avocado mixture near the base of the leaf.
Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the stem end to the tip. Repeat with the remaining leaves.
Serve the wraps immediately for the freshest taste. Optionally, secure with toothpicks and cut into halves for easier handling.
