# Instructions:
01 -
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups low-fat cottage cheese, 1 large egg, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Blend until completely smooth, ensuring no lumps remain for your High Protein Cottage Cheese Wraps.
02 -
Heat a non-stick skillet (about 8-inch diameter) over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a tiny bit of oil. This ensures your High Protein Cottage Cheese Wraps don't stick and cook evenly.
03 -
Pour about 1/2 cup of the cottage cheese mixture into the hot skillet, spreading it thinly with the back of a spoon to form a round wrap. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the edges are set and the wrap easily lifts. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat for the second wrap.
04 -
While the wraps cool slightly, prepare the savory filling. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp hummus and 1 tsp Dijon mustard. Gather 4 oz low-sodium deli turkey breast, 1 cup fresh spinach, and 1/2 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced.
05 -
Lay each cooled cottage cheese wrap flat. Spread half of the hummus-Dijon mixture evenly over each wrap. Layer with half of the thinly sliced deli turkey breast, fresh spinach, and red bell pepper. Roll up tightly to create your delicious High Protein Cottage Cheese Wraps.
06 -
Slice each assembled wrap in half, if desired. Garnish with 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved, and 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped. Serve immediately and enjoy these satisfying High Protein Cottage Cheese Wraps for a quick, nutritious meal.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispy edges, cook the wraps a minute longer on each side. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring they cook through.
02 -
Feel free to customize your filling! Try grilled chicken, smoked salmon, or even roasted vegetables instead of turkey. A sprinkle of feta or goat cheese would also be delicious.
03 -
Cooked cottage cheese wraps can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave, then add fresh fillings.
04 -
These wraps are fantastic for meal prep! Prepare the wraps and fillings separately, then assemble just before eating to maintain freshness and prevent sogginess.
