FAQs
1. What’s the best cut of beef for this wrap?
Flank steak, skirt steak, or ribeye work best because they’re flavorful and cook quickly. Just be sure to slice against the grain for tenderness!
2. Can I use a different tortilla?
Absolutely! Whole wheat, spinach, or even low-carb wraps work great. If you love crunch, try using a grilled pita instead.
3. Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Cook the beef and prep the veggies in advance, but assemble just before eating to keep everything fresh.
4. What can I add for extra flavor?
Try adding crispy bacon, pickled jalapeños, or a drizzle of spicy sriracha for a kick!
