  • Rotate the wrap so the mixture is lengthways and close to you. Fold the bottom of the tortilla over the mixture. Fold and hold left side, fold the right side and roll the shell over the longer flap. Leave the seam side down, the weight of the wrap will hold it together. 
    Continue with the remaining shells.
  • Place wraps in an appropriate baking dish, sprinkle with grated cheddar and bake at 350℉ in a preheated oven for 20 minutes.
