Storage – Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating – I’ve found the best way to reheat these crunch wraps is by reheating them in a skillet over medium heat. You can also reheat them in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Wendy’s Test Kitchen Tips
- Before you season the beef make sure that you drain all the excess grease.
- Use the crunchy shell to protect your fresh ingredients from the beef so that they don’t become soggy.
- Don’t overcook the outer tortilla, you want it a golden brown.
FAQs
Gently fold the edges of the large tortilla into the center and then press down so that it doesn’t open up.
