FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, you can substitute regular yogurt, but Greek yogurt provides a thicker texture and higher protein content that improves the spread.

Are these wraps suitable for freezing?

It’s best to avoid freezing the wraps as the flatbread may become soggy when thawed, and the fresh ingredients can lose texture and flavor.

Wrap Ingredients

• 2 pieces whole wheat flatbread
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Filling Ingredients

• 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup cooked chicken breast, diced
• 1/2 cup baby spinach leaves

Instructions

1. Prepare the cottage cheese mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, plain Greek yogurt, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture until it is smooth and well blended.
2. Heat the flatbread: Place a skillet over medium heat and lightly brush each whole wheat flatbread with olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking and to add flavor.
3. Warm the flatbreads: Place each flatbread in the heated skillet and warm for about 1 minute on each side, or until they become pliable and develop a slight golden color.
4. Spread the filling: Evenly spread the cottage cheese mixture over each warmed flatbread, creating a creamy base layer for the wrap.
5. Add toppings: Distribute the diced cooked chicken breast, baby spinach leaves, and tomato slices evenly over the cottage cheese spread to build the wrap’s filling.
6. Roll and serve: Tightly roll up each flatbread with the filling inside, then slice each wrap diagonally in half to serve. Enjoy immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

• For added flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of chili flakes to the cottage cheese mixture.
• Use fresh, cooked chicken for the best texture; leftover roasted or grilled chicken works well.
• These wraps can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator; wrap tightly in plastic wrap to keep fresh.
• To make it vegetarian, omit the chicken and add extra vegetables like cucumber or bell peppers.
• Warm the flatbread gently to avoid tearing or drying out the bread.
