FAQs
Can I make these wraps dairy-free?
This recipe relies on dairy cheeses and cottage cheese for texture and flavor, so it’s not easily adaptable to dairy-free alternatives without changing the consistency significantly.
How do I prevent the wraps from breaking when rolling?
Allow the wraps to cool completely before cutting and rolling. This helps them firm up and become flexible enough to roll without cracking.
