First, wash the collards and cut the stem from them.  You will use these as the wraps.  Set them aside

Next, chop the cabbage into small pieces and place into a large pot with some oil.

Add diced onions, chopped cilantro and grated turmeric.  Dice the tomatoes and the avocado, but leave them to add as toppings after everything has cooked.

Next, chop the chorizo into small pieces and add it to the bowl of cabbage, onions, cilantro and turmeric.

Cook the chorizo until browned.  Then lay each collard flat and spread some of the sauteed mixture at the top.  Top with avocado and tomato.  Roll up carefully and sink those teeth in!
