Tips for the Perfect Crunchwrap
Tortillas: Use the largest tortillas you can find, preferably burrito-size. Smaller tortillas may not hold all the ingredients and can break apart.
Layering: Be mindful not to overload the wrap with too many ingredients, especially if using smaller tortillas. Overstuffing can cause the wrap to break during cooking.
Sauce Placement: When adding sauces, place them in the middle layer rather than the bottom to prevent the tortilla from becoming soggy and breaking.
Cutting and Serving: The wrap is quite large, so you may want to cut it into smaller pieces for easier handling and serving.
