Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare the roll-ups in advance?
Yes, you can assemble the roll-ups a day ahead and store them in the refrigerator. Just pour the egg mixture over them right before baking. This saves time on busy mornings and allows the flavors to meld together nicely.
What can I use instead of flour tortillas?
If you're looking for a gluten-free option, try using corn tortillas or gluten-free wraps. They may require a bit of adjustment in cooking time or handling, but they work well as a substitute in this recipe.
Can I freeze these roll-ups?
Absolutely! You can freeze the assembled roll-ups before baking. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Bake them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
