Tips
Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent cracking when folding and ensure easier wrapping.
Don't overfill wraps as this makes them difficult to seal and may cause filling to leak during cooking.
Brush wraps with butter both before and after cooking for maximum golden crispiness.
Good to Know
Refrigerate wrapped for up to 2 days. Reheat in air fryer at 350F for 2-3 minutes.
Assemble wraps up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerate. Add 1-2 minutes to cooking time if cold.
Serve immediately while wraps are crispy and cheese is melted. Provide au jus in small bowls for dipping.

FAQ
Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas?
Corn tortillas work but are more fragile. Warm them longer and handle gently when folding to prevent breaking.
What if I don't have au jus gravy mix?
Use beef broth with a splash of Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce, or substitute with warmed beef consomme for dipping.
How long do these wraps keep in the refrigerator?
Store wrapped wraps for up to 2 days refrigerated. Reheat in air fryer at 350F for 2-3 minutes to restore crispiness.
