These Caprese-Style Wraps with Tomato, Basil, and Balsamic are a quick and refreshing twist on the classic Italian salad. With creamy cottage cheese, juicy tomatoes, fresh basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze all wrapped in a soft tortilla, they’re perfect for a light lunch or no-fuss dinner.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 wraps

Ingredients

4 large spinach or sun-dried tomato tortillas

1 cup full-fat small curd cottage cheese

2 firm Roma tomatoes, seeded and finely diced

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced (chiffonade)

1/2 tsp garlic powder

Salt and fresh black pepper, to taste

2 tbsp balsamic glaze

2 cups arugula or baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Slice Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds and watery pulp. Finely dice the remaining flesh.
  2. In a bowl, mix cottage cheese with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Lay a tortilla flat and spread a layer of the cottage cheese mixture evenly.
  4. Top with a handful of arugula or spinach.
  5. Sprinkle diced tomatoes and sliced basil evenly over the greens.
  6. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
  7. Roll the tortilla tightly, slice in half, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Best enjoyed fresh, as tomatoes and greens can release moisture over time.
  • To pack for lunch, pat tomatoes dry and wrap tightly in parchment or plastic.
  • Can substitute cottage cheese with mozzarella, ricotta, or goat cheese.
  • For low-carb, use large lettuce leaves instead of tortillas.
