Tips & Variations

  • Swap mozzarella and cheddar for pepper jack or Monterey Jack cheese for a spicy twist.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
  • Add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or spinach inside the wraps for added nutrition.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in a toaster oven to keep the exterior crispy. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the wraps soggy.
