Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork sausage
• 4 large collard green leaves
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 small yellow onion
• 1 avocado
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the avocado salsa. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth.

Step 2

Add 1 tablespoon of lime juice and chopped cilantro to the avocado. Mix until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and red bell pepper.

Step 4

Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent and the bell peppers are tender.

Step 5

Add the ground pork sausage to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until thoroughly cooked through and no pink remains.

Step 6

Season the sausage mixture with garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

While the sausage is cooking, prepare the collard green leaves by cutting off the thick stem. Submerge the leaves in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water.

Step 8

Pat the collard leaves dry with paper towels. Lay one leaf flat, vein-side up.

Step 9

Place a portion of the cooked sausage mixture onto the center of the leaf. Top with a spoonful of the avocado salsa.

Step 10

Fold the sides of the leaf inward, then roll it up from the bottom to the top to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.

Step 11

Drizzle the remaining lime juice over the burritos before serving.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Sausage Burrito.
