The first recipe from the "Wraps" cookbook!


Well I now its taken us a while to finally decide what cookbook to cook through, we picked the wraps one! We are planning on posting at least 1 recipe a week. This first recipe made was very good, it was a extremely refreshing and a nice change to your regular ham and cheese:)

All the lettering in red is what we changed on the recipe!


Cottage Crunch
1/2 c. diced yellow pepper
1/2 c. chopped carrots( we didn't have any)
1/2 c. tomato, seeded and diced
3 T. lemon juice
3 T. thinly sliced green onion
3 T. chopped fresh basil
2-3 drops of lemon oil or 1 tsp. chopped lemon zest
1/4 tsp. onion salt( we used garlic salt)
freshly ground pepper
1 c. large curd cottage cheese
2 large butter lettuce leaves
We added alfalfa Sprouts

2 10or11 inch flour tortillas
Flavored tortilla suggestion: garden vegetable


Combine the bell pepper,carrot, tomato,lemon juice,green onion, basil, lemon oil and onion salt in a medium bowl. Add pepper to taste. Gently fold in Cottage cheese into the vegetable mixture. Place a lettuce leaf on each tortilla. Divide the cottage cheese mixture among the lettuce leaf-lined tortilla and warp. Enjoy this wrap immediately!

Serves 2 large serving or 4 medium-small
