Ingredients
Scale
Wraps
- 2 wraps (Flour or Spinach Wraps; try whole wheat or low-carb variants)
Filling
- 1 cup cottage cheese (can substitute with ricotta or Greek yogurt)
- 1 medium cucumber (sliced or julienned)
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper (finely chopped, optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh dill or parsley (chopped; can swap for basil or cilantro)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or white vinegar; apple cider vinegar works too)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 small clove minced, optional)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cottage Cheese Mix: In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, chopped fresh dill or parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder if using, and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended, creating a creamy and flavorful spread.
- Lay Out the Wraps: Place the wraps flat on a clean surface or plate, ready for assembling. Ensure they are fresh and pliable to avoid cracking when rolling.
- Spread the Filling: Evenly spread a generous layer of the cottage cheese mixture over each wrap, covering the surface but leaving a small border around the edges for easier rolling.
- Add the Vegetables: Arrange cucumber slices or julienned cucumber down the center of each wrap. If using, sprinkle finely chopped red bell pepper on top for added crunch and sweetness.
- Roll the Wraps: Starting from the edge closest to you, tightly roll each wrap inward, folding in the sides as you roll to encase the filling securely and prevent spillage.
- Serve or Store: Slice each wrap diagonally in half for easy handling. Enjoy immediately as a fresh snack or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours to keep crisp and fresh.
Notes
- Use whole wheat or low-carb wraps for a healthier option.
- Substitute cottage cheese with ricotta or Greek yogurt for different texture and flavor.
- Add other fresh veggies like shredded carrots, sprouts, or avocado slices to customize.
- Adjust herbs based on availability—basil or cilantro works well.
- Serve chilled for best refreshing taste.
- Store wraps in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to a day.
