Frequently Asked Recipe Questions

How do I prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy?

Ensure the fillings are well-drained and avoid adding excess moisture. Baking on a parchment-lined sheet pan helps maintain crispness.

Can I use different types of beans?

Yes, pinto or refried beans work well and can be substituted to vary flavor and texture.

What cheese combinations work best?

A blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack melts smoothly, but other mild cheeses like mozzarella can also be used.

How can I make these wraps spicier?

Add ingredients like pickled jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling or as optional toppings.

Is there a way to prepare these ahead of time?

Assemble the wraps and keep them covered in the fridge before baking; bake fresh to preserve crispness.
