How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to create your wraps.

Blend

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Blend cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, garlic powder, baking powder, salt, and olive oil until smooth.

Spread

3. Spread the mixture into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle on the baking sheet.
4. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until golden and set, then broil for an additional 1 to 2 minutes for extra crispiness. Let it rest for 5 to 7 minutes.

Cook

5. Pat the chicken dry. Mix paprika, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and salt, then rub the spice blend over the chicken.
6. Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

Mix

7. Mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to create the sauce.
8. Slice the flatbread into rectangles and layer with yogurt sauce, sliced chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and herbs.
9. Fold the flatbread tightly into wraps. Optionally, sear them in a dry skillet for 1 to 2 minutes per side for extra crispness.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: No, due to the texture of the flatbread.
Reheat: Microwave for 30 seconds or warm in a skillet.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure the chicken is at room temperature before cooking for even doneness.
• Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the chicken from sticking.
• Broil the flatbread carefully as it can burn quickly.
• Adjust the spices based on your heat preference.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with a side of fresh fruit for a balanced meal.
• Pair with a light salad for a refreshing addition.
• Enjoy with a tangy dipping sauce for extra flavor.
