Ingredients
Scale
For the wrap base:
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 large egg (optional, helps bind the wrap)
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to taste
For the filling:
- ½ cup chopped cucumber
- ½ cup chopped tomato
- ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup drained chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons chopped kalamata olives or grape tomatoes
- 2–3 lettuce leaves or a handful of spinach
- Optional: olive oil or tzatziki sauce for drizzling
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Make the wrap base:
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
- In a blender, combine cottage cheese, egg (if using), and seasonings. Blend until smooth.
- Spread the mixture thinly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into a large circle or rectangle.
- Bake for 25–35 minutes, or until the wrap is firm and golden.
- Let it cool completely before filling—it’ll firm up as it rests.
Prepare the filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, tomato, red onion, chickpeas, feta, and olives.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Drizzle with olive oil or a spoonful of tzatziki if desired.
Assemble the wraps:
- Lay the cooled wrap flat on a clean surface or plate.
- Start with the lettuce or spinach, then layer the veggie mixture down the center.
- Add any additional drizzles of olive oil or tzatziki for creaminess.
- Roll up burrito-style, slice in half, and enjoy immediately—or wrap tightly for a fresh meal on the go.
Notes
- The wrap base can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- For a vegan version, use a plant-based cottage cheese and skip the egg and feta—or use vegan alternatives.
- Feel free to swap chickpeas with white beans or lentils for a different protein boost.
