Notes
- Perfectly warm tortillas by microwaving briefly or heating in a dry skillet to enhance flexibility and prevent cracking.
- Slice avocado and other ingredients thinly to ensure even distribution and easier rolling without tearing the tortilla.
- For a low-carb version, swap flour tortillas with large lettuce leaves or low-carb wraps to reduce overall carbohydrate content.
- Add extra protein and crunch by incorporating crispy bacon bits or toasted sunflower seeds for varied texture and flavor boost.
