FAQs

Can I use deli roast beef instead of steak?

Yes! If using deli roast beef, sauté it briefly with the peppers and onions to warm it up and absorb the seasonings.

What’s the best cheese for a Philly cheesesteak wrap?

Provolone is the classic choice, but white American cheese and Cheez Whiz are also authentic options.

How do I keep my wraps from getting soggy?

Make sure to drain excess liquid from the steak and vegetables before assembling. Also, grill the wraps on medium heat to crisp them up properly.

Can I bake these wraps instead of pan-frying them?

Yes! Bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.

What kind of tortilla should I use?

Use large flour tortillas, as they hold up better than corn tortillas when wrapping and grilling.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble and store them in the fridge, then grill just before serving for the best texture.

Can I add a sauce inside the wrap?

Absolutely! A little mayo, aioli, or horseradish sauce can add extra flavor. Just don’t overdo it, or the wrap may become soggy.

What side dishes go well with these wraps?

Try fries, a side salad, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.

Can I use a panini press to grill these?

Yes! A panini press works well and ensures an even, crispy exterior.

How can I make this recipe keto-friendly?

Use low-carb tortillas or serve the filling in lettuce wraps instead.
