Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (dill, chives, or parsley)
  • 1/2 medium English cucumber, diced
  • 68 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 medium red bell pepper, diced (optional)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning (optional)
  • 2 large low-carb tortillas or wraps
  • Optional add-ins:
  • Sliced turkey or chicken breast (about 1.75 oz per wrap)
  • 1/2 small avocado, sliced
  • Handful baby spinach or arugula
  • Hot sauce or sriracha, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry all fresh produce.
  2. Dice cucumber, halve cherry tomatoes, and chop red bell pepper and fresh herbs.
  3. Optional: Blend cottage cheese in a blender or food processor for 10-15 seconds until smooth and creamy. Drain excess liquid if needed.
  4. Transfer cottage cheese to a bowl. Add salt, pepper, everything bagel seasoning, and half the chopped herbs. Mix well. Adjust seasoning and add lemon juice if desired.
  5. Lay out tortillas on a clean plate or board. Spread half the cottage cheese mixture down the center of each tortilla.
  6. Top with cucumber, tomatoes, bell pepper, and remaining herbs. Add optional turkey, avocado, or greens if using.
  7. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll up tightly from the bottom. Slice in half for easier eating.
  8. Serve immediately or wrap tightly in foil/plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Notes

For extra creaminess, blend cottage cheese before using. Drain excess liquid from cottage cheese to avoid soggy wraps. Warm tortillas for easier rolling. Customize with your favorite veggies, herbs, or protein add-ins. For gluten-free, use almond flour or coconut wraps. Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored for up to 2 days.
