Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces whole-grain tortilla
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup cucumber
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 stalks green onion
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Begin by washing all the vegetables thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Dice the red bell pepper and cucumber into small, bite-sized pieces.
Peel the carrot and grate it coarsely.
Thinly slice the green onions, including the green tops.
Roughly chop the fresh dill.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese with the lemon juice, freshly ground black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Add the diced red bell pepper, cucumber, grated carrot, sliced green onions, and chopped dill to the cottage cheese mixture. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Lay the whole-grain tortillas flat on a clean surface.
Divide the baby spinach evenly over each tortilla, leaving a border around the edges.
Spoon half of the cottage cheese and vegetable mixture over each tortilla, spreading it out but leaving space at the edges for easy rolling.
Carefully roll each tortilla, tucking in the sides as you go to form a compact wrap.
Wrap each rolled tortilla in parchment paper or slice in half diagonally before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy a heart-healthy meal!
