How to Make Irresistibly Cheesy Protein Cheesesteak Wraps
Ingredients:
- 1 lb steak (thinly sliced, choose sirloin or flank for tenderness)
- 1 cup bell peppers (sliced, any variety)
- 1 medium onion (sliced)
- 1 cup mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 cup cottage cheese (fresh, room temperature)
- 1 cup provolone cheese (shredded, divided)
- 4 large tortillas (use flour or whole wheat)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it nice and warm.
- Thinly slice the steak, peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
- In a skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Then, toss in the vegetables and sauté until they’re tender and fragrant.
- In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese and half of the provolone cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Lay out your tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon the steak and veggie mix onto each tortilla, then roll them tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Drizzle the blended cheese sauce over the wraps, then sprinkle the remaining provolone cheese on top.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown.
- Once out of the oven, let them cool for a minute. Serve hot and enjoy every gooey, protein-loaded bite!
