# How to Make:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Blend cottage cheese until smooth in a food processor or blender. Add eggs, almond flour, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend again until fully incorporated.
03 - Pour batter onto prepared baking sheet in four equal circles (approximately 6 inches diameter). Spread evenly. Bake for 18-20 minutes until firm and edges are golden and crispy. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from parchment.
04 - While flatbreads bake, combine shredded chicken with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. For extra flavor and warmth, briefly sauté in a pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
05 - Spread a thin layer of Greek yogurt or mayonnaise onto each flatbread. Top with seasoned chicken, shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, and red onion.
06 - Roll each wrap tightly. Slice in half diagonally if desired. Garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately while flatbreads retain warmth and crispiness.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You get 36 grams of protein per wrap without any chalky protein powder or weird aftertaste
- The flatbread actually crisps up like real bread, not some sad floppy alternative that falls apart when you bite down
02 -
- The batter spreads thinner than you think while baking, so make your circles slightly smaller than your desired final wrap size
- Let the flatbreads cool for the full 5 minutes or theyll tear when you try to fold them
03 -
- Use a silicone baking mat instead of parchment if you have one, the flatbreads release even easier
- Weigh your cottage cheese for accuracy since containers vary in actual weight versus listed volume
