Tips & Variations

  • Swap ground beef with ground turkey for a leaner option.
  • Add diced onions or jalapeños to the filling for extra flavor.
  • Toast the wraps in a panini press for a different crispy texture.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat wraps in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven to keep them crispy. Avoid microwaving as it can make the tortilla soggy.
