Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the special sauce ahead of time?

Yes! The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container.

What’s the best way to keep the wraps from getting soggy?

Avoid overloading with sauce and serve immediately after assembling. Toasting also helps keep them crisp.

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Absolutely! While American cheese is classic, cheddar or Swiss are great alternatives.

Are there any gluten-free options?

Use gluten-free tortillas or lettuce wraps instead of regular flour tortillas.

Can I prepare the beef in advance?

What’s the best type of tortilla to use?

Flour tortillas work best since they are soft and flexible.

Can I add tomatoes to the wrap?

How can I make these wraps even crispier?

Try air-frying them at 375°F for 3-5 minutes after assembling.
