Ingredients
Scale
For the Wraps
- 2 wraps (Flour or Spinach Wraps – try whole wheat or low-carb variants)
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese (substitute with ricotta or Greek yogurt)
For the Filling
- 1 medium Cucumber (slice or julienne)
- ¼ cup Red Bell Pepper (finely chopped, optional)
- ¼ cup Fresh Dill or Parsley (chopped; swap for basil or cilantro)
- Salt and Pepper (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (or white vinegar; apple cider vinegar works too)
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder (or 1 small clove minced, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, chopped dill or parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder (if using), and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
- Spread the Mixture: Lay out the wraps on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cottage cheese mixture evenly across each wrap, covering most of the surface area.
- Add the Vegetables: Arrange cucumber slices along the center of each wrap. Top with finely chopped red bell pepper or any optional veggies you prefer.
- Roll the Wraps: Starting from the edge closest to you, tightly roll each wrap while folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling inside.
- Slice and Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours for a fresh and easy meal later.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients, especially cucumbers and bell peppers, are well-drained and chopped evenly to prevent sogginess.
- Serve the wraps fresh for the best taste and texture.
- Feel free to customize the herbs and veggies based on your preference or availability.
- For a vegan option, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based yogurt or ricotta alternative.
- To make the wraps more filling, consider adding sliced avocado or lean protein such as grilled chicken breast.
