Why This Recipe Works (Quick Science)
- Beet hummus is high in fiber and healthy fats, giving a creamy base without needing mayo.
- Cottage cheese adds a big protein punch while the dill + garlic powder makes it taste herbaceous and fresh.
- Wrapping all that in a fiber-rich tortilla keeps the wrap firm and easy to eat, no soggy mess here!
Common Mistakes
- Using too much hummus – can make the wrap soggy and hard to roll.
- Overstuffing – I know it’s tempting, but you’ll end up with a wrap that won’t stay closed.
- Not seasoning the cottage cheese – it needs a little love to really pop!
What to Serve With
- A side of fresh fruit (grapes or apple slices are great)
- A small bowl of lentil soup
- Crunchy veggie chips or roasted chickpeas
- A cold sparkling water or minty iced tea
Pro Tips

Make Ahead Tips

How to Make It
Step 1: Season the Cottage Cheese
Add 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 tsp dried dill, 1/8 tsp garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a small bowl. Stir until creamy and combined.
Step 2: Spread the Beet Hummus
Lay out 1 spinach wrap on a flat surface. Use a butter knife or small spatula to spread 2 tablespoons beet hummus evenly, leaving a little space around the edges.
Step 3: Layer the Veggies
Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded carrots evenly over the hummus. Then add 1/4 cup baby spinach leaves on top.
Step 4: Add Herbed Cottage Cheese
Spoon half the herbed cottage cheese mixture on top of the veggies in little dollops, then gently spread.
Step 5: Roll It Up
Carefully roll the wrap from one end to the other, keeping it tight but not squishing the filling. Slice in half at an angle.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Place both halves on a plate, cut-side up to show off the rainbow layers. Serve immediately or wrap in parchment for later.
Leftovers & Storage
- Wraps can be stored tightly wrapped in parchment or foil in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- If storing longer, keep the filling separate and assemble fresh for best texture.
