Storage

FAQs
Can I make these wraps dairy-free?
These wraps rely on cottage cheese and mozzarella for texture, so omitting dairy changes the consistency significantly. You might try a dairy-free cheese alternative and a similar creamy base, but results may vary.
How do I prevent the wraps from tearing when rolling?
Allow the wraps to cool completely before cutting and rolling. Cooling helps them firm up and become more pliable, reducing the chance of tearing.
