Cottage cheese is having a moment right now, and I am here for it! There are so many recipes with cottage cheese from cottage cheese scrambled to pancakes, but this is one of my favorites! It is pretty tasty on its own, but you can also do lots of fun things with it, like this viral cottage cheese wrap. They are all over TikTok, and everyone is loving how inventive and healthful they are. This is my most made cheese wrap recipe. Plus I promise it doesn't take like a scrambled egg!
These tasty wraps are also full of health benefits. They are high protein and contain healthy fats, B vitamins, calcium, choline, and antioxidants. You can fill them with whatever you like to complement your personal nutritional journey. In this recipe, I suggest chicken, cheese, tomato, avocado and lettuce for a well-rounded wrap that will keep you full and satisfied all day!
Why You'll Love This Viral Cottage Cheese Recipe
- Carb Conscious - These wraps are a great alternative to tortillas! They are lower in carbs, full of nutrients, and naturally gluten-free. This recipe is gluten free plus it doesn't taste like cheese scrambled eggs in wrap form! I'll try cottage cheese pancakes next!
- Very Versatile - The chicken and avocado filling suggested below is just the start. You can customize your wraps to suit your mood. You could even fill yours with potatoes, cheese and bacon for a portable breakfast. This is perfect for meal prep too. I've made it in the morning, and put it in the refrigerator in time for lunch! Even my son says they taste great!
Ingredients for Cottage Cheese Wraps
- Cottage Cheese - Cottage cheese is of course the hero of this recipe. High-protein, low carb and packed with nutrients, 1 cup cottage cheese makes the base for these wraps. I prefer full fat cottage cheese, but please let me know in comments if you try low fat protein cottage cheese.
- Eggs - Eggs also pack a nutritional punch, and help to bind these wraps. You will need 2 eggs for one sheet pan. Using egg whites alone changes the texture in my opinion.
- Salt and Pepper - It takes about ¼ tsp salt and ⅛ tsp pepper to season these viral cottage cheese wraps.
- Garlic Powder - A little garlic powder really kicks your flavor up a notch. You just need ¼ tsp. If you prefer you can use italian seasoning.
Optional Fillings:
- Chicken Tenderloins - You can fill your cottage cheese wraps with whatever you like, however I think that chicken is a great starting point. You can expect to use 2-3 cooked chicken tenderloins.
- Cheese - Cheese fits really nicely into this wrap. You can add one slice of your favorite kind.
- Tomato - Tomato brings a nice element of brightness to this wrap. You will need 2 slices.
- Avocado - Avocado is such a delicious and healthy alternative to mayonnaise in any sandwich. You can slice or mash ¼ of an avocado for this wrap.
- Lettuce - A little lettuce can add a satisfying crunch to this wrap. Wash and dry 2 leaves of your favorite kind!
Substitutions
- For a vegetarian-friendly option, fill your wraps with roasted veggies and hummus.
- You can use these to make tasty dessert wraps as well. Simply forego the seasonings and fill your cooked wraps with fruit, nutella, peanut butter, or honey.
How to Make Cottage Cheese Wraps
- Prepare a large baking sheet with non-stick spray and parchment paper, making sure the parchment paper is slightly larger than the baking sheet for easy removal. Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Blend cottage cheese, eggs and seasoning until smooth and pour onto prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. Wrap should no longer be wet and should easily come up from the parchment paper.
- Remove wrap from parchment and fill with toppings. Gently roll it up using the top of the baked wrap as the outside of the wrap. The inside should be the underside of the baked wrap.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by preparing your baking sheet. Spray with nonstick spray, and then line with parchment paper. It is best if you leave a little overhang on your parchment paper for easy removal. Preheat your oven to 350.
Next, prepare your wrap mixture. Blend your cottage cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, until your mixture is smooth.
Pour it onto the baking sheet. Bake your cottage cheese wrap for 30-35 minutes. When your wrap is ready to come out, you will see that the surface is no longer wet, and you should be able to pull it up from the parchment paper easily.
Once your wrap is cool enough to handle, remove it from the parchment paper, and flip it over onto a plate to build your wrap. The top of the wrap should become the outside. Fill it with your chicken, cheese, tomato, avocado and lettuce, or whatever other fillings you prefer. Enjoy!
Cook's Tips
• Blend your cottage cheese, egg, and seasonings until completely smooth. Lumps can cause your wrap to fall apart. A high-speed blender works great!
• Don’t rush into filling your wrap. If you handle it before it cools through, your wrap will be more likely to fall apart.
Storage Instructions
- Store cooled cottage cheese wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat refrigerated wraps in a skillet for about a minute on each side, until flexible.
Serving Suggestions
- These wraps go great with a side salad dressed with vinaigrette.
- Use these viral cottage cheese wraps to make a lighter take on a burrito, using black beans, pico de gallo, avocado and cheese for your fillings.
