Recipe FAQ
- → How do I keep the wraps from becoming soggy?

Yes, pinto or refried beans can be swapped in place of black beans without affecting flavor significantly.
- → What cheeses work best for melting in these wraps?
Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses melt well and provide a creamy, rich texture that complements the seasoned fillings.
- → Is there a way to add heat to these wraps?
Adding pickled jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce inside the filling can easily introduce desirable spiciness.
