storage/reheating
Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

FAQs
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Yes, assemble the wraps without toasting them, then refrigerate. Toast just before serving for best texture.
Can I freeze the Nacho Cheese Beef Wraps?
It is best not to freeze due to the sour cream and cheese sauce, which may separate upon thawing.
What other meats can I use?
Ground turkey, shredded chicken, or even pulled pork work well in place of ground beef.
How do I keep the tortillas from getting soggy?
Toast the wrap right before serving and avoid overfilling with wet ingredients like salsa or excess cheese sauce.
What can I serve with these wraps?
Pair with a side of Spanish rice, refried beans, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
Can I bake them instead of toasting in a skillet?
Yes, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and heated through.
What type of tortilla works best?
Use large flour tortillas, as they are sturdy and easy to fold without tearing.
Are Nacho Cheese Doritos necessary?
They add a signature flavor and crunch, but you can substitute with plain tortilla chips or another flavored variety.
How spicy is this wrap?
It’s mildly spicy due to the Rotel; adjust heat by choosing mild or hot varieties or adding extra chili.
Can I omit the sour cream?
Yes, but it adds a creamy tang. Consider replacing it with Greek yogurt or leaving it out entirely.
