Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding some sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of garlic powder to the cream cheese spread. If you want a lighter option, swap out the roast beef for turkey or grilled veggies. You can also use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist. Make sure to tightly roll the wraps to prevent filling from spilling out.
