Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)

2 large eggs

1/2 cup oat flour

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 cup shredded romaine lettuce

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, garlic powder, baking powder, salt, and olive oil. Blend until smooth.

Step 3: Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.

Step 4: Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the flatbread is golden and set. For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes. Let it rest for 5–7 minutes.

Step 5: Pat the chicken breasts dry. Mix paprika, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt, then rub this spice blend all over the chicken.

Step 6: Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

Step 7: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to make the sauce.

Step 8: Slice the flatbread into rectangles. Spread some yogurt sauce on each piece, then layer with sliced chicken, shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and fresh herbs.

Step 9: Fold the flatbread tightly into wraps. For extra texture, optionally sear the wraps in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side.

Tips & Variations

Use gluten-free oat flour to keep the flatbread gluten-free and add a nutty flavor.

Swap chicken for grilled shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.

For spicier wraps, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.

Try adding sliced avocado or your favorite hot sauce inside the wraps for extra creaminess and kick.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of flour for the flatbread?

Yes, you can substitute oat flour with almond flour or whole wheat flour, but note that texture and baking time may vary slightly. Oat flour provides a nice lightness that works well in this recipe.

How can I make these wraps vegan?

To make a vegan version, replace cottage cheese and eggs with a vegan batter such as blended silken tofu and chickpea flour, and use plant-based yogurt and grilled vegetables or tofu instead of chicken.
