# Instructions:
01 -
Combine 2 cups low-fat cottage cheese, 1 large egg, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt in a blender. Blend until completely smooth, ensuring no lumps remain. This forms the protein-packed base for your High Protein Cottage Cheese Wraps for Meal Prep.
02 -
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture onto the parchment and spread evenly into a thin rectangle (approximately 10x12 inches). Bake for 18 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
03 -
While the cottage cheese base bakes, prepare the creamy chicken filling. Shred 1 lb cooked chicken breast. Finely dice 1 stalk celery and 1/4 cup red onion. These fresh ingredients add essential crunch and flavor to your High Protein Cottage Cheese Wraps for Meal Prep.
04 -
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced celery, and diced red onion. Add 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp fresh dill, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
05 -
Once the baked cottage cheese base has cooled slightly, carefully cut it into 4 equal rectangles. Spoon an even amount of the creamy chicken filling onto each cottage cheese rectangle. Gently roll each rectangle to form your High Protein Cottage Cheese Wraps for Meal Prep.
06 -
Garnish each assembled wrap with a sprinkle of Everything Bagel Seasoning for extra flavor and texture. Serve immediately or store for convenient meal prep throughout the week. These wraps are delicious cold or lightly warmed.
# Notes:
01 -
For a vegetarian option, substitute the shredded chicken with mashed chickpeas or crumbled firm tofu in the filling.
02 -
Store assembled wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For best texture, you can store the filling and wraps separately and assemble just before eating.
03 -
Experiment with different herbs in the filling, like fresh parsley or chives, or add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
04 -
Ensure your cottage cheese base is blended completely smooth for the best wrap texture; any lumps can make it less pliable and prone to tearing.
