This easy wrap is what happens when pizza and a protein-packed snack have a delicious little baby.
I’ve been making these Pizza-Inspired Cottage Cheese Wraps for months now—especially when I need something fast, crispy, and satisfying.
You roll up seasoned cottage cheese, tomato sauce, and melty mozzarella, then air-fry until golden. It’s like a thin-crust pizza rolled into a crunchy wrap. Total winner.
🍕 Why I Love This Recipe
I started making these on a whim after craving pizza without wanting to deal with dough. Turns out, this quick little wrap hits every craving and only takes a few minutes. The best part? You get that cheesy, savory flavor with a hit of protein—and no greasy guilt.
- It’s fast (under 15 minutes start to finish!)
- You only need a handful of ingredients
- It’s super customizable
- Great for meal prep or a late-night snack
- That crispy outside + cheesy inside combo is addicting
What You’ll Need
- ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons tomato sauce (your favorite kind)
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 low-carb or regular tortilla (8-inch)
- Olive oil spray
👩🍳 Pro Tips
- Drain the cottage cheese a little if it’s super watery—this helps avoid sogginess.
- Roll tightly to keep all the fillings inside during cooking.
- Don’t overload with sauce or cheese, or the wrap might bust open.
- Use parchment in your air fryer to prevent sticking.
- Let it rest 1–2 mins after air frying—it helps set the cheese inside.

🔬 Why This Recipe Works (Quick Science)
- Cottage cheese melts and adds creaminess while packing protein.

- Not sealing the edges—cheese might ooze out while cooking.
- Cooking too long—wrap gets too dark or hard instead of crispy.

🧀 How to Make It
Step 1: Mix the filling
In a small bowl, mix ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese, ¼ cup shredded mozzarella, 2 tablespoons tomato sauce, and ½ teaspoon dried oregano until evenly combined.
Step 2: Fill the tortilla
Lay out one 8-inch tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon the cheese mixture down the center, leaving about 1 inch on each side.
Step 3: Roll it up
Fold the sides over, then roll up the tortilla tightly into a burrito-style wrap. Spray lightly with olive oil spray.
Step 4: Air fry
Place the wrap seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F for 6–7 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Step 5: Slice & serve
Let it cool for 1–2 minutes, then slice diagonally and serve with dipping sauce or eat as is!
🥡 Leftovers & Storage
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer to keep it crispy.
- Freezer: Wrap tightly in foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat straight from frozen in the air fryer or oven.
