FAQs

How can I make these wraps healthier?

Use lean ground beef or substitute with turkey, opt for low-fat cheese, and include fresh vegetables.

Can I prepare these wraps in advance?

Yes, you can assemble the wraps ahead of time and refrigerate. Toast them just before serving.

What sides go well with these wraps?

French fries, coleslaw, a side salad, or sweet potato chips pair nicely.
