Tips & Variations
- Try adding herbs like chopped basil or oregano for extra flavor.
- You can substitute almond flour with coconut flour, but use less as it absorbs more moisture.
- Use different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for a unique twist.
- Wraps work great for savory fillings like turkey, veggies, or avocado.
Storage
Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in a skillet or microwave until pliable. For longer storage, wraps can be frozen separated by parchment paper and thawed before use.

FAQs
Can I make these wraps dairy-free?
Since the recipe relies heavily on cottage cheese and mozzarella, it’s best suited for dairy eaters. You could experiment with dairy-free cheese alternatives, but texture and flavor may vary.
How can I prevent the wraps from sticking to the parchment paper?
Using a good quality parchment paper and ensuring the batter is spread evenly helps. Letting the wraps cool fully before removing prevents tearing and sticking as well.

- 1/4 cup Blanched almond flour
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)

- Cooling the wrap is essential to prevent breaking when rolling.
- Almond flour adds texture and helps bind the wrap, but you can experiment with other low-carb flours if preferred.
- Seasonings are optional but recommended for added flavor.
- Wraps can be stored refrigerated wrapped in parchment or plastic and reheated gently to retain flexibility.
