Ingredients
The Wrap Base
- 1 tortilla or flatbread (everything bagel-style preferred)
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (small curd)
The Fresh Fillings
- Cucumber, thinly sliced (English or Persian)
- Fresh dill or parsley, to taste
- Lemon zest (optional)
The Finishing Touches
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
- Extra virgin olive oil (optional drizzle)
Instructions
Prep the Base: Lay your tortilla flat. If stiff, microwave for 10 seconds between damp paper towels to make it pliable.
Spread: Spread cottage cheese evenly over the tortilla, leaving a half-inch border.
Layer Veggies: Place sliced cucumbers in an even layer over the cheese. overlap slices for extra crunch.
Season: Sprinkle fresh herbs, lemon zest, and cracked pepper. Drizzle with olive oil if desired.
Roll & Serve: Fold in the sides and roll tightly from the bottom. Slice diagonally and serve immediately.
Notes
Moisture Control: Strain watery cottage cheese through a sieve for 5 minutes to prevent a soggy wrap.
Thin Slices: Use a mandoline for paper-thin cucumber slices to make rolling easier.
Sodium Note: Cottage cheese and ‘everything’ seasoning are naturally salty; extra salt is rarely needed.
