Chef’s Secret

Warm wraps briefly in a microwave or on a dry skillet before filling to make them more pliable and prevent cracking.

Substitutions

Best Match

Flour Tortilla

1:1

Very similar in texture and use, can be substituted directly.

Lettuce Wraps

1:1 (multiple leaves)

A gluten-free, low-carb alternative for lighter fillings, very different texture.

Pita Bread

1:1 (cut in half)

Can be used to pocket fillings, but less versatile for rolling.

Lavash Bread

1:1

Large, thin flatbread, excellent for rolling, similar to a wrap.
