Tips For Making the Best Wraps:
- To prevent soggy wraps, make sure your fillings are dry. Pat cooked vegetables dry with paper towels, and drain canned beans or chickpeas.
- Spread a thin layer of sauce or hummus on the wrap to add flavor and prevent the filling from falling out.
- Warm your tortilla briefly in a pan or microwave to make it more pliable and easier to roll.
- Fill your wrap generously, but not so much that it becomes difficult to close.
And wraps themselves? You don’t have to just stop at your typical flour tortilla. You can use bread, lettuce, cabbage, spinach or anything you can wrap something in.Â
