High-Fiber High-Protein Flaxseed Wraps
Flaxseeds have been around for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians and Mediterranean cultures loved them for their strength - giving nutrition and often ground them into simple breads for everyday meals.
I’ve always loved how such a tiny seed can turn into something surprisingly satisfying. When I first tried making wraps with flaxseed, I was honestly amazed.
Just a little flaxseed meal, a bit of water, and suddenly you have a soft, flexible wrap with a warm, nutty aroma that feels wholesome and comforting.
These wraps remind me of traditional flatbreads you find around the world - like Mediterranean lavash or simple homemade rotis - but with a modern, nutrition-packed twist.
They’re rich in fiber, naturally high in plant protein, and perfect for anyone who wants something light yet filling.
What I enjoy most is how versatile they are!!
Once you make one, you start wondering... what should I fill it with next?
Fresh veggies? Creamy hummus? Maybe grilled chicken? ... That curiosity is half the fun!!

Instructions
14 stepsTo Make the Wraps:
Get your ingredients together before you begin.
In a bowl, combine ground flaxseed and salt.
Pour in hot water and mix immediately with a spoon until a thick dough forms.
Once slightly cooled, shape into a ball.
Wrap tightly in cling film and let rest for 15–20 minutes to allow full hydration.
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces.
Roll each piece between two sheets of baking paper into thin circles (approx. 2–3 mm).
For perfect shape, trim edges using a plate as a guide.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a touch of olive oil if needed.
Cook each wrap for about 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden and set.
Cool slightly before filling.
To Assemble:
Spread cream cheese mixed with mustard.
Add lettuce, cherry tomatoes and desired fillings.
Roll tightly into a wrap and slice if desired.
