Here is a delicious, high-protein recipe for a Cheesy Baked Tortilla Wrap:
Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas (or low-carb/high-protein tortillas)
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup cottage cheese (blended smooth for extra creaminess, or substitute with Greek yogurt)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (a mix of mozzarella and cheddar)
- 1 tbsp melted butter or olive oil (for brushing)
- Seasonings: Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (to taste)
- Optional protein add-ins: Cooked shredded chicken, diced turkey bacon, or sliced ham.
Instructions
1. Prep and Preheat
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Egg & Cheese Mixture
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, blended cottage cheese, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
- Stir in half of the shredded cheese (and any optional meats like chicken or bacon if using).
3. Assemble the Wrap
- Lay your tortillas flat. Divide the egg and cheese mixture evenly, spreading it across the lower portion or the center of each tortilla.
- Top with a handful of the remaining shredded cheese.
4. Roll and Secure
- Tightly roll up the tortillas into a burrito or wrap shape.
- Place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Garnish and Bake
- Brush the tops of the wraps lightly with melted butter or olive oil.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese, a pinch of Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes over the top for a crispy, flavorful crust.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the egg filling inside is completely set.
6. Serve
- Slice in half and enjoy warm while the cheese is melty and gooey!
