What You’ll Need
Gather these items to create your delicious omelette wrap:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 whole wheat or low-carb tortilla

You can easily swap cottage cheese for Greek yogurt for a different texture or use any tortilla you prefer—whole wheat, low-carb, or even gluten-free!
Directions to Follow
- Start by whisking the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper together in a mixing bowl until everything is well combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour in the egg mixture.
- Allow the eggs to cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the edges begin to set. This is when you’ll want to layer the avocado slices and halved cherry tomatoes onto one half of the omelette.
- Carefully fold the omelette over the filling and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes until it’s fully set.
- Once cooked through, remove the omelette from the skillet and place it on a tortilla.
- Roll the tortilla tightly around the omelette to create your wrap.
- Slice the wrap in half and serve, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
