How one can Assemble the Wraps

Assembling the crispy beef and bean wraps may be very simple.

Place the wraps seam-side down and prepare dinner till golden. Press frivolously on the wraps with a spatula whereas they prepare dinner to flatten only a bit.

Flip and prepare dinner on the opposite aspect till every little thing is crispy, tacky, golden and bubbly.

I like a great beef and bean burrito. However there’s one thing about urgent the concoction flat and crisping up the tortilla that makes me remarkably blissful.

As a result of these wraps come collectively so extremely quick, we eat them lots for fast and speedy weeknight dinners, particularly on nights after I’ve didn’t even take into consideration what to make (why does that occur so typically??).
