For The 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)
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill or parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)

Optional Add-Ins

Baby spinach
Shredded carrots
Sliced avocado

Directions

I start by mixing the cottage cheese, dill or parsley, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until everything is well blended.
I lay out the tortillas or spinach wraps on a clean surface.
I spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly over each wrap.
I place the cucumber slices and any optional ingredients like spinach, carrots, or avocado down the center.
I roll the wraps tightly, folding in the sides as I go to keep everything together.
I slice them in half and serve immediately—or wrap them in plastic wrap to enjoy later.

Servings And Timing

This recipe yields 4 wraps. It takes just 10 minutes from start to finish, making it perfect for a quick meal or snack any time of day.

Variations

Sometimes I add hummus or a smear of cream cheese for a richer flavor. I’ve also tried it with arugula for a peppery kick, or added a few sunflower seeds for a bit of crunch. If I’m craving more protein, I toss in a few slices of turkey or grilled chicken.

Storage/Reheating

These wraps are best eaten fresh, but I can store them tightly wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I don’t recommend reheating them—this one is meant to stay cold and crisp.

FAQs

Can I Make These Wraps Ahead Of Time?

Yes, I sometimes prep them in the morning and keep them chilled until lunch. Just make sure the ingredients are well-drained to avoid sogginess.

What’s The Best Type Of Wrap To Use?

I usually use flour or spinach wraps, but whole wheat or low-carb tortillas work great too. As long as they’re soft and flexible, they’ll roll up nicely.

Is There A Good Substitute For Cottage Cheese?

If I’m not a fan of cottage cheese, I’ve used ricotta or cream cheese as an alternative. Greek yogurt works in a pinch too, though it’s a bit looser in texture.

How Can I Add More Protein?

I add sliced hard-boiled eggs, cooked chicken breast, or a handful of chickpeas when I want a little extra protein in my wrap.

Can Kids Eat These?

Yes! The kids actually enjoy these a lot, especially when I keep the ingredients simple. The creamy cottage cheese and crunchy cucumbers make a great combo for little hands.
