How to Make Cottage Cheese Wraps (Low Carb Snack)
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, grated cucumber, diced bell pepper, chives (or green onions), garlic powder, salt, pepper, and fresh dill if using. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed and creamy.
Step 2: Lay Out the Wraps
Gently pat the lettuce leaves dry with a paper towel to prevent sogginess. Lay them flat on a clean surface or plate. If using deli meat, layer a slice of turkey or chicken on each lettuce leaf.
Step 3: Fill and Roll
Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the cottage cheese mixture onto the center of each lettuce (or turkey) leaf. Carefully fold the sides over and roll up tightly to form a neat wrap.
