Whole wheat tortillas filled with grilled chicken breast strips, creamy cottage cheese, mashed avocado and a handful of fresh spinach. Rolled tight and cut in half.
You recognise a good wrap by the sound. That first crunching bite through a warm tortilla, followed by the soft layers underneath. Here's how it goes: a layer of creamy cottage cheese as the base, with those characteristic curds you feel against the roof of your mouth. On top, mashed avocado — not completely smooth, with pieces you can still taste. Strips of grilled chicken still warm, with that slightly smoky edge from the grill pan. A handful of spinach leaves that crunch fresh. The whole thing rolled tight, cut in half so you see the cross-section — those layers of green, white and brown. Twenty minutes from start to plate.
