Storage/Reheating
I make these wraps fresh for the best texture, especially because cottage cheese can make the wrap soft over time. If prepping ahead, I store the filling separately and assemble just before eating. I don’t recommend reheating—these are best served cold.
FAQs
Can I use flavored cottage cheese?
Yes, as long as it pairs well with the other fillings. Savory flavors work best for wraps like this.
What kind of wrap works best?
I usually use whole wheat or high-protein wraps, but spinach or gluten-free wraps work just as well.
Can I make this dairy-free?
For a dairy-free version, I use a plant-based cottage cheese or swap it with hummus or a tofu spread.
Is this good for meal prep?
Yes, if I store the fillings and wraps separately. I assemble the wrap just before eating to avoid sogginess.
How much protein is in one wrap?
Depending on the type of cottage cheese and wrap I use, one wrap can offer around 20–25 grams of protein.
