storage/reheating
I store leftover wraps in foil or an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I use a skillet or air fryer to keep the outside crisp. The microwave works too, but the wrap softens a bit. If I’m freezing them, I wrap each one individually and reheat from frozen in the oven at 375°F until heated through.
FAQs
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Yes, I prep the filling in advance and store it in the fridge. When I’m ready to eat, I just assemble and toast the wraps fresh for the best texture.
What’s the best cheese to use?
I love using sharp cheddar for its bold flavor, but mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or any melty cheese works great. A mix of cheeses gives the best result.
Can I use corn tortillas?
I stick with flour tortillas for this recipe since they’re more flexible and hold up better for wrapping and toasting.
How do I stop the wrap from falling apart?
I don’t overfill them, and I always toast seam-side down first to help seal them. Wrapping tightly and using a good-quality tortilla also helps.
Can I make this spicy?
Absolutely. I add diced jalapeños, hot sauce, or use spicy taco seasoning to bring the heat.
