Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s incredibly easy to make and keeps me full for hours. The cottage cheese adds a creamy texture and is packed with protein, while the wrap can be customized with any combination of vegetables, greens, or even deli meat. It’s a great way to stay energized without reaching for processed foods or heavy meals.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Whole grain or low-carb tortillas

• Cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)

• Fresh spinach or lettuce

• Sliced cucumbers

• Cherry tomatoes, halved

• Sliced avocado (optional)

• Deli turkey, chicken, or tofu (optional for extra protein)

• Salt and pepper

• Lemon juice or hot sauce (optional for flavor)

Directions

1. I start by laying out the tortilla flat on a clean surface or plate.

2. I spread a generous amount of cottage cheese evenly over the center of the wrap.

3. I layer on fresh spinach or lettuce, followed by cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and avocado if I’m using it.

4. For extra protein, I sometimes add sliced deli turkey, grilled chicken, or tofu.

5. I season with salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice or hot sauce for extra flavor.

6. I fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.

7. I slice it in half and serve immediately, or wrap it in foil for on-the-go meals.

Variations

Sometimes I add shredded carrots, bell peppers, or red onion for crunch. I’ve also made this with hummus or pesto instead of lemon juice when I want a different flavor profile. For a low-carb version, I use large lettuce leaves or egg wraps instead of tortillas. If I’m craving something spicy, I mix cottage cheese with a bit of sriracha before spreading it.

storage/reheating

I make these wraps fresh for the best texture, but they can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day if tightly wrapped in plastic or foil. I don’t recommend reheating them since the fresh vegetables and cottage cheese are best enjoyed cold. If I’m prepping them ahead, I keep the filling and tortillas separate until ready to eat.

FAQs

Is cottage cheese good for high-protein meals?

Yes, cottage cheese is naturally high in protein and low in fat, making it a great option for filling, healthy meals.

Can I use flavored cottage cheese?

I prefer plain cottage cheese, but I’ve also tried savory flavors like chive or pepper. It adds a new twist without needing extra seasoning.

What kind of wrap works best?

I usually use whole grain or low-carb tortillas, but spinach or protein wraps work great too. For a gluten-free version, I use gluten-free tortillas or lettuce leaves.

Can I make this wrap vegan?

Yes, I substitute dairy-free cottage cheese and skip the meat. Tofu, chickpeas, or tempeh make great plant-based protein options.

How can I pack this for lunch?

I wrap it tightly in foil or parchment paper, then keep it chilled in a lunch bag with an ice pack. I wait to add any juicy ingredients (like tomatoes) until just before eating to keep it from getting soggy.

Conclusion

High-Protein Cottage Cheese Wraps are one of my favorite quick meals when I need something nutritious, filling, and easy to prepare. With endless ways to customize and just a few minutes of prep, this recipe is perfect for busy days, post-gym fuel, or anytime I want a balanced bite without turning on the stove.
