Ingredients

Servings1
  • 2egg
  • 75 gcottage cheese
  • 1low-carb wraps(low-carb or wholegrain wraps)
  • ¼avocado(flesh sliced)
  • 50 gcherry tomatoes(halved)
  • ½red bell pepper(small, deseeded and finely diced)
  • ¼red onion(finely diced)
  • ½ tbspolive oil
  • ½ tspsmoked paprika
  • ¼ tspcumin(ground)
  • ½ tsplime(freshly squeezed)
  • 2 ½ gcoriander(fresh, roughly chopped)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the ½ tbsp olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Soften the ¼ red onion and ½ red bell pepper for 3 to 4 minutes, then toast the ¼ tsp cumin and ½ tsp smoked paprika briefly until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Whisk the 2 egg with a pinch of pepper and pour them into the pan. Push the mixture from the edge to the centre with a spatula for about 2 minutes, until creamy and just set.

  3. 3

    Take the pan off the heat and fold the 75 g cottage cheese into the warm scrambled eggs. It makes them extra creamy and noticeably lifts the protein. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Warm the 1 low-carb wraps briefly in a dry pan or toaster until soft and pliable.

  5. 5

    Spread the scrambled eggs down the centre of the 1 low-carb wraps. Top with ¼ avocado, 50 g cherry tomatoes and 2 ½ g coriander, then drizzle with ½ tsp lime.

  6. 6

    Fold in the sides, roll up tightly from the bottom and serve seam-side down. For on the go, wrap in baking paper and cut in half.

Frequently asked

Can I prep this wrap ahead of time?

The scrambled egg and cottage cheese filling keeps in the fridge for 2 days. Only roll the wrap just before eating, otherwise it goes soggy. Freshly rolled tastes noticeably better than reheated.

How do I make the wrap even higher in protein?

Swap one whole egg for two egg whites and bump the cottage cheese up to 200 g. That adds around 8 g of protein per serving with no real extra fat.

Which wraps work best?

Low-carb wraps keep the carbs down and add plenty of fibre. Wholegrain tortillas work just as well, keep you full and taste a little milder.
