Cheese: We’re partial to Parmesan, but use whatever cheese you love.
Tortillas: We like flour tortillas for these wraps, but spinach would also be delish!

These wraps are a great source of protein, potassium, and vitamin A. However, they are also high in fat, sodium, and calories, so enjoy them in moderation!

Absolutely! This is a great meal prep recipe . Just wrap them in plastic wrap to help keep them fresh!

To minimize the sog factor, try placing a layer of undressed greens directly on the wrap first to act as a barrier between the filling and the tortilla.
