What is the Best Cottage Cheese to Use for Wraps?
For cottage cheese tortilla wraps, I’d recommend using full-fat cottage cheese because it is less watery, making the dough easier. Bake until the cottage cheese forms a savory base that is flexible. If you like the creamier and thicker texture, then blend it. Pair it with tomatoes and your favorite fillings.
