Ingredients

• 2 wraps (Flour or Spinach Wraps; whole wheat or low-carb variants work well)
• 1 cup cottage cheese (substitute with ricotta or Greek yogurt if preferred)
• 1 medium cucumber, sliced or julienned
• ¼ cup red bell pepper, finely chopped (optional)
• ¼ cup fresh dill or parsley, chopped (swap for basil or cilantro if desired)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or white vinegar, apple cider vinegar as alternatives)
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 small clove minced, optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, chopped dill or parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder (if using), and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
2. Step 2: Lay out the wraps on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cottage cheese mixture evenly across each wrap.
3. Step 3: Arrange cucumber slices along the center of each wrap. Add red bell pepper or any optional veggies on top.
4. Step 4: Starting from the edge closest to you, tightly roll each wrap, folding in the sides as you go.
5. Step 5: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and enjoy immediately, or store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Tips & Variations

• Make sure all vegetables are well-drained and chopped evenly for an even texture and to prevent sogginess.
• Try adding thinly sliced avocado or smoked salmon for extra flavor and richness.
• Use different fresh herbs like basil or cilantro to change up the flavor profile.
• For a spicier kick, sprinkle in some crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.

Storage

Store the wraps tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. They are best enjoyed fresh to keep the wraps from becoming soggy. If stored, allow them to come to room temperature for a few minutes before eating, or eat cold for a refreshing bite.
