- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions
- Prepare Your Flatbreads: Warm your flatbreads in a dry skillet or oven until soft and pliable to make them easy to top and eat.
- Mix the Cottage Cheese Base: In a bowl, combine cottage cheese with freshly chopped herbs, salt, pepper, and lemon juice until evenly mixed to create a bright, creamy base.
- Spread the Cottage Cheese Mixture: Generously spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly across each warm flatbread, ensuring each bite is creamy and flavorful.
- Drizzle Chili Crisp Generously: Spoon a few tablespoons of spicy, crunchy chili crisp over the cottage cheese, adding bold heat and texture to the flatbreads.
- Add Optional Toppings and Serve: Enhance textures and flavors by adding chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, or any preferred toppings, then serve immediately for maximum crunch and freshness.
Notes
- Use fresh, soft flatbreads for best texture and taste.
- Keep cottage cheese chilled to maintain creaminess when spreading.
- Adjust the amount of chili crisp gradually to control spiciness.
- Fresh herbs brighten and balance the richness of the dish.
- Serve flatbreads immediately after assembly to keep chili crisp crunchy.
