What to keep in mind.
6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Pat tomato slices dry with paper towels to prevent the wrap from getting soggy.
- 2Use room-temperature tortillas; cold ones crack when rolled.
- 3Toast wraps seam-side down first to lock in the filling.
- 4For extra melt, layer cheese directly against both sides of the turkey.
- 5Let toasted wraps rest 30 seconds before slicing so the cheese sets slightly.
- 6Use a serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion to cut cleanly without squishing.
