Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly, ensuring the filling stays secure inside.

Variations

Gluten-free: Use a gluten-free wrap of your choice.
Dairy-free: Swap the cheese for a dairy-free version or omit it altogether.
Different wraps: Instead of regular flour tortillas, try sun-dried tomato wraps, spinach wraps, cassava flour wraps, or even lettuce wraps for a lighter option.
Cheese alternatives: You can use any cheese you prefer, including sliced cheese, which works better for preparing ahead without making a mess.

Storage/Reheating

If you have leftover wraps, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. To reheat, place the wrap in a skillet on low heat and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until warmed through. You can also microwave the wrap for 30-60 seconds, though it may not be as crispy.
