How do you fold a wrap?

While there are several ways to fold a wrap, there is one reliable and easy method that you can use.

It is called the standard fold wrap:

1. Fold the sides of the wrap halfway towards the center.
   
   Bring both the left and the right side of your wrap about 1–3 in towards the middle of the wrap.
   
   Leave about 2–3 in. in between both sides, depending on how large of a wrap you are using.
   
   This way, your wrap’s contents do not fall out as you take a bite.
2. Bring the bottom third towards the center.
   
   To make your fold, lift up on the bottom edge of your wrap, and move it towards the center about one third of the way up.
   
   While this doesn’t have to be perfect, keeping about two thirds of the wrap exposed helps you tightly wrap it up.
3. Continue folding the wrap from the bottom until you reach the end.
   
   Fold the wrap up, then flip the wrap on top of itself to make your additional fold.
   
   Then, make more folds until you reach the end of your wrap.
   
   You may fold your wrap 1-3 times, depending on its size.
   
   The amount of filling also determines how many folds you’ll make.
   
   If your wrap is super stuffed, you may only have to fold it 1 more time.
   
   If it is on the thinner side, 2 folds may work great.

2. Fold left edge of paper across the wrap.
3. Fold right edge of paper over and continue to roll it around the wrap completely.
4. Twist top of paper, enclosing wrap, but be careful not to crush tortilla or filling.
   
   When you’re ready to eat, simply untwist and tear away top end and use the paper to keep the wrap rolled together.

How do I keep my wraps from getting soggy?

You can also place lettuce to further prevent moisture from reaching the tortilla.
