Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup protein powder
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, and honey (or maple syrup). Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated, ensuring no dry protein powder lumps remain.
- Warm the whole wheat tortillas slightly in a skillet or microwave to make them more pliable. This will help prevent cracking when folding.
- Spread the prepared pumpkin protein mixture evenly across the center of each tortilla, leaving about an inch of border around the edges to prevent overflow when folding.
- Dollop Greek yogurt in a line down the center of the pumpkin mixture to add extra creaminess and protein.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll from bottom to top, creating a neat and compact wrap.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray or brush with oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from heat, let cool for 2 minutes, then slice diagonally and serve warm. Optional: Dust with additional pumpkin pie spice or drizzle with extra honey.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Slightly warming tortillas prevents cracking and makes them more flexible for wrapping.
- Smooth Mixture Magic: Whisk the protein powder thoroughly to eliminate any lumps for a silky-smooth filling.
- Don't Overfill: Leave a small border when spreading the mixture to prevent messy overflow during cooking.
- Heat Control: Use medium heat when crisping tortillas to achieve a golden-brown exterior without burning.
- Protein Powder Swap: Experiment with different flavors like vanilla or cinnamon protein powder for variety.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: Prepare the filling in advance and store in the refrigerator for quick morning assembly.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair with a small side of extra Greek yogurt or a drizzle of maple syrup for added indulgence.
