How to Make It

Creating these wraps is a smooth process that you can follow step-by-step.

Blend Ingredients

1. Blend cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, garlic powder, baking powder, salt, and olive oil until smooth.
   This mixture forms the foundation of your flatbread.

Bake Flatbread

2. Spread the mixture into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle on the baking sheet.
   Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden and set. Broil 1–2 minutes for extra crispiness. Rest for 5–7 minutes after baking.

   

Prepare Chicken

3. Pat the chicken dry.
   Mix paprika, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and salt to create a spice blend. Rub over the chicken evenly.

Cook Chicken

4. Cook chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
   Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes, then slice it into strips.

Make Sauce

5. Mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to create the sauce.
   This adds a refreshing touch to your wraps.

Assemble Wraps

6. Slice the flatbread into rectangles.
   Layer with yogurt sauce, chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and herbs.

Fold and Sear

7. Fold tightly into wraps.
   Optionally sear in a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes per side for extra crispness.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
