how to make 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Wraps
Ingredients:
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (strained if watery)
- 2 large eggs
- Garlic powder (to taste)
- Italian seasoning (to taste)
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor (optional)
Directions:
Add 1 cup of strained full-fat cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, and any optional seasonings to a high-speed blender. Blend for 20–30 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform.
Heat an 8–10 inch nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat for at least 2 minutes. Lightly grease the pan with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour about one-third of the batter (approximately 1/3 cup) into the center of the pan. Immediately tilt and swirl the skillet so the batter spreads into a thin, even layer similar to a crepe, ensuring it’s thin but not see-through.
Let it cook undisturbed for 3–5 minutes until the top looks dry and the edges start to lift from the pan. Carefully slide a spatula underneath to ensure it’s loosened before flipping. Gently flip the wrap and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes until golden and firm.
Transfer the cooked wrap to a plate and let it cool for 2–3 minutes to become more pliable. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Use the wraps as you would tortillas to fill, roll, or fold with your favorite fillings.
how to serve 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Wraps
Serve these wraps like you would any tortilla. You can fill them with grilled chicken, fresh veggies, cheese, or any spread you like. They work well for lunch or dinner. Feel free to add some sauce or dressing to enhance the flavors!
