Ingredients

Lettuce wraps

4 large leaves romaine or iceberg lettuce washed and thoroughly dried

Cottage cheese filling

1 cup full-fat cottage cheese small curd, drained if watery
1 tablespoon mayonnaise sugar-free, avocado oil or olive oil based if possible
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
1/8 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning optional, for extra flavor

Protein and toppings

4 ounces deli turkey or chicken slices nitrate-free, no added sugar, sliced thin
1/2 medium avocado pitted and thinly sliced
2 slices cooked bacon crumbled, optional
1/4 cup thinly sliced cucumber or pickle optional, for crunch

Instructions

Lay the lettuce leaves on a cutting board and gently pat them completely dry with a clean towel to help them stay crisp.
Add the cottage cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and everything bagel seasoning to a small mixing bowl and stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Taste the cottage cheese filling and adjust the seasoning with a pinch more salt, pepper, or everything bagel seasoning if desired.
Arrange the lettuce leaves in front of you and divide the turkey or chicken slices evenly between them, layering the meat in the center of each leaf.
Spoon the cottage cheese mixture over the sliced meat, spreading it into a thick strip down the middle of each lettuce leaf.
Top the cottage cheese with avocado slices and sprinkle on the crumbled bacon and sliced cucumber or pickle if using.
Fold the sides of each lettuce leaf over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a wrap that fully encloses the cottage cheese and toppings.
Serve the wraps immediately as is, or slice them in half on a diagonal for easier handling and pack for lunch, picnics, or snacks on the go.

Notes

For the lowest carb count, choose full-fat cottage cheese with no added starches and deli turkey or chicken without sugar in the ingredient list. If prepping ahead, keep the cottage cheese mixture, sliced meats, and lettuce leaves stored separately and assemble just before eating to keep the wraps crisp. You can customize the flavors by swapping the protein for ham, roast beef, or smoked salmon, or by stirring fresh herbs, chopped pickles, or a squeeze of lemon juice into the cottage cheese. Each wrap is naturally gluten-free and fits into most strict keto macros, making it a reliable staple for quick meals.
