Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
Make-Ahead Magic: You can prep the fillings in advance. Store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for ease on busy weekdays.
Ingredient Swaps: Use different meats, such as roasted chicken or a veggie-based option for a lighter wrap.
Slicing Tricks: For an appealing look, try to slice the meats and cheese thinly so they meld together within each roll.
Leftover Storage: If you have any leftovers, keep the fillings separate from the lettuce to maintain the freshness. They should keep well in the fridge for about 2-3 days.
