NOTES

1. Do I need to preheat the wraps? No, you don't! They will soften in the sauce and get a crispy crust in the oven.

2. Can I make this dish in advance? Yes! You can prepare everything up to a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Bake when you're ready to eat.

3. More vegetables? Add spinach or beans to the filling.

4. Storage

Refrigerator: Keep covered for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Keep in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
Reheat: In the oven at 350 °F (180 °C) or microwave with extra sauce.
