🍶 Storing
Like most quesadillas, this is best when it is first made. Everything is hot, crispy, and melted and it is absolute perfection.
Refrigerator Storage: If you can not eat it all in one sitting, you can store them in the refrigerator. Once the crunchwrap has cooled completely, place it in an airtight container or freezer bag. It will last for up to 3 days.
Freezer Storage: This can be stored in the freezer. Once it has cooled completely wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Then freeze it for up to 3 months.
Reheat: There are a few ways that you can reheat the wrap.
- To reheat the folded tortilla wrap, place it on a microwave-safe plate and heat for 1 minute. Then check it to see if it is hot throughout. If not, heat it in 20-second increments until it is hot. When you reheat in the microwave, you will lose some of the crispiness that this had when it was first served. For a lot of people, this is not a problem.
- You can also reheat in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for 2 minutes or until hot throughout. This will give it back some of the crispiness.
- It can also be reheated in the skillet. I like to spray the pan with cooking spray and then heat through.
Make Ahead Directions: Yes, you can make this ahead of time and store in the refrigerator. Assemble all the way through heating. Then place a piece of plastic wrap over it tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 days. When you are ready to cook, remove it from the refrigerator and cook according to the recipe instructions.
💭Top Tips
If you are on TikTok at all (we are @ourwabisabilife) then I am sure you have seen the tortilla hack. People are making the best-tasting lunches or dinners using this folding trick. It is a fun and easy hack that I had to try. Since I will eat anything in a tortilla, I knew this would be a hit.
But what is the tortilla hack? Basically, it is a new way of making a quesadilla that resembles the Taco Bell Crunch Wrap, kind of. So when you place the tortilla on the cutting board, you are going to make one specific cut. Then, after adding the different ingredients to sections, you fold the tortilla creating pockets of food. Then it gets cooked in a skillet, panini press, or even an air fryer. The outside gets a grilled texture and comes out golden brown and crispy.
There is no end to what you can make inside of the folded tortilla. You can add dinner leftovers as a way to use them up and save money. Add any of your favorite dinner ingredients together. My favorite quesadilla recipes, like Cheesy Chicken Quesadilla, Chicken Taco Quesadilla, and Breakfast Tortilla Wrap Quesadilla work great using this trend. Just add a fried egg in place of any of the ingredients for a good idea for a simple breakfast.
I have tried my Chicken Fajitas Wraps made using this trend, as well as Barbacoa Tacos, Ham and cheese eggrolls, and Philly Cheesesteak Eggrolls. Another idea would be to make Turkey, Avocado, BLTs.
You can also use this tortilla hack to make something sweet. Add Nutella, peanut butter, and jelly. Fluffernutter would be delicious as a folded tortilla. Try chocolate chips, graham crackers, and mini marshmallows. There really is no end to what you can make.
❔FAQs
No, you don’t need butter to fry the buffalo chicken folded tortilla wrap. If you are making this in a skillet or panini press, you will be using nonstick cooking spray. In the air fryer, I like to give it a spray of nonstick cooking spray but this is a personal preference.
I prefer it in a burrito-sized tortilla, but you can also make this sandwich wrap in a gluten-free tortilla, like corn tortillas, or whatever type of wrap you like. You can even use something like pita bread. You can even use rice paper or seaweed paper.
