Helpful Tips

For added convenience, you can prepare all ingredients in advance and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble the wraps. If you’re looking to mix things up, consider these variations:

  • Spicy Kick: Add a slice of jalapeño or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce.
  • Extra Crunch: Throw in some finely chopped bell peppers or sliced radishes.

Store assembled wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. If making ahead, keep the ingredients separated and assemble just before eating to maintain freshness.

Pairings

These wraps pair beautifully with a variety of sides and drinks. Here are some of our favorites:

  • A simple quinoa salad or a hearty lentil soup.
  • A glass of chilled lemon water or a refreshing cucumber mint cooler.
