Cottage Cheese Crunch

Maybe you have heard of Meatless Mondays.  I like to think of it as going "vegetarian for a day".  It's easy to do if you have a delicious recipe that will help you to forget that you are making a meatless meal.  

Cottage Cheese Crunch is my "go to" meatless meal, but if you just can't be a vegetarian for a day you can add meat to this. 

It's easy too!  

COTTAGE CHEESE CRUNCH

1 large container 2 % cottage cheese
1 pack large low-carb/ wheat tortillas
1 head of romaine lettuce
2 lemons
zest of two lemons
1 bunch of fresh basil 
3 bell peppers ANY COLOR 
2 carrots
1 small red onion 
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1/2 tbsp. crushed red pepper
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp.  olive oil (this helps preserve the salsa) 

Chop all the veggies and put into a large bowl.  Add the basil and onion.  Add the lemon zest and squeeze both lemons over the veggie mixture.  Add the olive oil, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, then add enough salt and pepper to taste.  

Cover this and set it in the fridge.  The longer it sets the yummier it gets. 

Now build your Cottage Cheese Crunch wrap!  

Take one tortilla and line it with 2 large outside leaves of the romaine lettuce!  Add a couple scoops of cottage cheese, then layer your veggie salsa on top.  Roll it up, cut it diagonal lengthwise, and NOSH out!
