Ingredients

These ingredients strike a perfect balance between protein power and fresh flavors. You’ll notice I kept the list simple—no obscure items here.

• 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas
• 1½ cups full-fat cottage cheese (drain excess liquid)
• 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken (or chickpeas for a veggie twist)
• ½ cup diced bell peppers (mix of red, yellow, green)
• ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or basil)
• 2 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds
• 1 small avocado, sliced
• Juice of ½ a lemon
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: a dash of smoked paprika or chili flakes

Instructions

Follow these steps in order, and you’ll have wraps ready in under 15 minutes. No rocket science here—just good food that sticks to your ribs.

1. Prep the cottage cheese mix: In a medium bowl, stir together cottage cheese, lemon juice, chopped herbs, salt, pepper, and optional spices. Taste and adjust. You want a zesty, well-seasoned base.
2. Add your protein: Fold in the shredded chicken or chickpeas until everything’s evenly coated. This step turns your wrap into a **Cottage Cheese Meal** that hits the macros.
3. Layer the veggies: Lay out each tortilla, then spread about ¼ of the mixture in the center. Top with diced peppers, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of seeds for crunch.
4. Wrap it up: Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom. If you want extra crispiness, pop them in a dry skillet—2 minutes per side does wonders.
5. Slice and serve: Use a sharp knife to cut each wrap in half on a diagonal. Arrange on a plate and garnish with extra herbs or a drizzle of hot sauce.
6. Enjoy immediately or wrap in parchment for a grab-and-go lunch. These wraps keep well for up to 24 hours in the fridge—handy if you’re meal prepping!

Variations

Feeling adventurous? Here are a few **Cottage Cheese Ideas** to mix things up:

• Buffalo Style: Swap the herbs for buffalo sauce, top with shredded carrots and celery for a spicy kick.
• Mediterranean Twist: Add chopped olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and a sprinkle of feta. Oregano instead of basil works wonders.
• Sweet & Savory: Mix in diced apple, a pinch of cinnamon, and honey. Top with granola—yes, you read that right, a wrap for breakfast! 🍏

Serving & Tips

Here’s how to make these wraps even more epic:

• Serving Ideas: Pair with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad. Works perfectly as a quick lunch or light dinner.
• Storage Tips: Store fillings separately from tortillas if you want peak freshness. Assemble just before eating to avoid soggy wraps.
• Seasonal Touch: In fall, swap peppers for roasted butternut squash. In spring, add asparagus tips or pea shoots for a fresh vibe.
• What To Eat With Cottage Cheese: These wraps? Obviously. But also try them alongside a warm bowl of tomato soup for a cozy combo.

FAQs

Can I use low-fat cottage cheese instead of full-fat?

Absolutely. Low-fat cottage cheese works fine, though your wraps might lack a bit of creaminess. If you go low-fat, consider adding a teaspoon of olive oil or Greek yogurt to boost that smooth texture.

How do I prevent the tortillas from getting soggy?

Great question! Pat your cottage cheese dry with a paper towel and store components separately. Assemble just before eating. A quick skillet toast seals the wrap and wards off sogginess.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes! Prep your filling up to 24 hours in advance and keep it chilled. Lay out tortillas, fill, roll, and slice right before serving. Meal prep win!

What are some creative toppings I can try?

Try everything from pickled jalapeños and kimchi to fresh fruit slices like peaches or pineapple. For crunch, add granola or crushed pita chips. Sky’s the limit!
