Description
A food trend is, quite simply, my kind of fun. I’ve noticed people want to eat more protein, and as a gluten-free person, for me this Cottage Cheese Wrap trend is perfect protein-dense eating.
Ingredients
For the wrap:
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Pinch kosher salt
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper
- Avocado oil spray
Filling for the wrap, optional:
- 4 tablespoons pistachio pesto or spread of choice
- 6 ounces sliced chicken breast or meat of choice
- Small handful of baby romaine or greens of choice
- ½ medium avocado, sliced
- ¼ cup halved green olives
- Marinated red onions
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350°F.
- In a blender or food processor, add the cottage cheese, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and black pepper and blend.
- Line a ¼-size baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with avocado oil. Spoon the cottage cheese mixture onto the baking sheet, smoothing it into a uniform rectangle (about 7 x 9 or 10 inches). Take care not to spread the mixture too thin.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Remove it from the oven, take another sheet of parchment paper and place on top of the partially cooked wrap then grasp both the bottom and top sheets of parchment to flip the wrap over. Peel off the original parchment and return the pan and wrap to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes. The wrap will be golden and the edges will look a little crispy.
- Take the baking sheet out of the oven and allow for the wrap to cool down for a few minutes. Remove the wrap from the baking sheet and let cool for a few more minutes.
- Cut the cottage cheese wrap in half.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of the pistachio pesto or spread on half of one of the cottage cheese halves, then layer half of the chicken, romaine, avocado slices, and green olives over the pesto and top with some marinated red onions. Fold the cottage cheese wrap over to close.
- Repeat with the other cottage cheese wrap half and the remaining ingredients.
- Serve and enjoy!
