Ingredient Notes

• Callaloo: This leafy green is similar to spinach. If unavailable, spinach can be a substitute, although the flavor will differ slightly.
• Coconut milk: Use a full-fat version for creaminess or light coconut milk for a lower-calorie option.
• Whole wheat tortillas: Opt for fresh tortillas for the best flavor and texture.
• Bell pepper: Any color works, but red or yellow adds sweetness.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. In a separate pan, sauté 1/2 chopped bell pepper in 2 tablespoons of coconut milk until softened, about 3 minutes.
  2. Combine the steamed callaloo with the sautéed bell pepper and coconut milk, mixing well.
  3. Place the mixture on whole wheat tortillas, wrapping them tightly. Serve warm.

Things I’ve Learned

• Fresh callaloo can spoil quickly; consume within 2-3 days if stored in the refrigerator.
• If reheating, use a stovetop or microwave to maintain texture.
• You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for quick morning assembly.
