The Low Fat Cottage Cheese Veggie Wrap is a vibrant and wholesome meal perfect for a quick lunch or nutritious snack. Packed with fresh, crunchy vegetables like red bell pepper, cucumber, and carrot, these wraps are elevated by a creamy, tangy filling made from low-fat cottage cheese, Dijon mustard, and a hint of lemon juice. Wrapped in hearty whole wheat tortillas, each bite is a delightful combination of flavor and texture. With just 20 minutes of prep time and no cooking required, these wraps are a healthy, vegetarian-friendly option for busy days. Serve them fresh or refrigerate for a convenient grab-and-go meal that's high in protein, low in fat, and bursting with fresh flavors.
Start by preparing the vegetables. Finely dice the red bell pepper, and set it aside.
Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin strips. Set these strips aside.
Peel the carrot, then use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin ribbons and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the low fat cottage cheese, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Lay out the whole wheat wraps flat on a clean surface.
Spread a generous layer of the cottage cheese mixture evenly across each wrap.
On each wrap, place one green leaf lettuce leaf.
Evenly distribute the bell pepper, cucumber strips, and carrot ribbons over the lettuce on each wrap.
Carefully roll each wrap tightly, ensuring that the filling remains inside.
Once rolled, slice each wrap in half diagonally for easier handling and serving.
Serve the wraps immediately, or wrap them in parchment paper and refrigerate for up to 12 hours for a perfect on-the-go meal.
