Notes

Warm your tortillas before assembling to ensure they roll easily without tearing. You can swap ground beef for turkey, chicken, or plant-based crumbles. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 4 months. Consider toppings like diced avocado, sour cream, or pico de gallo for customization when serving.
