💡 Tips for Best Results
1. Slice steak thinly
This makes the wrap easier to bite and improves texture.
2. Don’t overcook steak
Slightly juicy steak works best with creamy filling.
3. Control heat level
- Mild: remove jalapeño seeds
- Medium: keep some seeds
- Hot: add extra jalapeños or chili flakes
4. Toast wraps
Adds crunch and prevents sogginess.
🧊 Storage
- Store steak and filling separately in the fridge for up to 3 days
- Assemble fresh for best texture
- Reheat steak gently in a pan
