Ingredients
- 2 large whole-wheat tortillas
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1 cup of cottage cheese (low-fat or regular, according to preference)
- 1 cup of fresh spinach leaves
- 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: chopped fresh cilantro, hot sauce, sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Spread: In a bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado over each tortilla.
- Add Cottage Cheese: Spoon ½ cup of cottage cheese onto each tortilla, spreading it evenly over the avocado layer.
- Layer the Vegetables: Divide the spinach leaves, red bell pepper slices, and cucumber slices evenly between the two tortillas.
- Roll the Wraps: Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly, starting from one end and tucking in the sides as you go to keep the filling inside.
- Serve: Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately. Garnish with optional toppings if desired.
