Cucumber Cottage Cheese Wraps

Ingredients (makes 4 wraps):

4 large flour tortillas or spinach wraps

1 cup cottage cheese (small curd preferred)

1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced or julienned

1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper (optional, for crunch)

1/4 cup chopped fresh dill or parsley

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon lemon juice or white wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or a small minced garlic clove (optional)

Optional add-ins: baby spinach, shredded carrots, sliced avocado

Instructions:

Prepare the filling:

In a medium bowl, mix the cottage cheese with lemon juice, garlic powder (if using), chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.

Assemble the wraps:

Lay out each tortilla. Spread 1/4 of the cottage cheese mixture in the center of each wrap.

Add vegetables:

Top with sliced cucumber, red bell pepper, and any optional veggies like spinach or avocado.

Wrap it up:

Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito.

Serve:

Slice in half diagonally if desired. Serve immediately or wrap in parchment/plastic wrap for later.

Tip: For extra crunch, try adding some sunflower seeds or sliced almonds inside before wrapping.

I work this morning but going to make after and I have all the ingredients on hand.  I was wondering how to use up the tortilla wraps and this will be perfect.  The best part is you can add any veggies inside you want.

I have been on a eat better routine and this fits right in.  I don't like to say diet because it is more stop eating ****** when walk in the door or get bored.  If I eat better I am more satisfied too.   I am off for a week so this will be a good go to for lunch.  I think my daughter would enjoy this also so make up some extras.

Thanks for the idea and love when I find something like this.  I like simple meals and recipes.

The filling combination sounds terrific. I usually have most of the ingredients on hand.  I'd skip the tortilla and eat it from the bowl.
