Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, garlic powder, baking powder, salt, and olive oil. Blend until smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.
  4. Bake the flatbread for 18–22 minutes, until it turns golden and is set. If you want it extra crispy, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end. Let it rest for 5–7 minutes.
Cooking the Chicken
  1. While the flatbread is baking, pat the chicken dry. Mix paprika, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and salt together, then rub this spice mix over the chicken.
  2. Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Assembling the Wraps
  1. To make the sauce, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
  2. Cut the cooled flatbread into rectangles. Layer each rectangle with yogurt sauce, sliced chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and fresh herbs.
  3. Fold the flatbread tightly into wraps. For added crispness, you can sear the wraps in a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes on each side.

Notes

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for best freshness within 2-3 days. To reheat, place in a skillet for a few minutes on each side.
