Tips for Best Results
Don’t Overfill the Tortillas
Too much filling can cause tearing and uneven baking.
Use Freshly Shredded Cheese
Fresh cheese melts smoother and creates the best gooey texture.
Let the Beef Cool Slightly
Hot filling can soften the tortillas too much before baking.
Brush the Tops Generously
Olive oil or butter helps create that crispy golden crust.
Serve Fresh From the Oven
These wraps are crispiest and most delicious while warm.
