Here’s how to toast a wrap five different ways to level up lunch and dinner.

The key lies in achieving a perfectly crispy exterior while ensuring the fillings remain succulent and flavoursome. Whether you’re preparing a breakfast burrito, a lunchtime snack, or a dinner feast, this guide will walk you through the art of toasting a wrap.

Before You Start

Choosing the right ingredients

The first step in toasting a perfect wrap is selecting the right ingredients. Choose a wrap that is flexible and sturdy. Popular options include wheat, corn, and gluten-free varieties. For the fillings, consider a balance of protein, vegetables, and cheese. The fillings should not be too wet, as excess moisture can make the wrap soggy.

Preparing the Wrap

Before toasting, lay out your wrap and evenly distribute the fillings. Avoid overfilling as it can cause difficulties in toasting and may lead to a messy eating experience. Once filled, fold the wrap securely. A good technique is to fold the sides in first, then roll it up from the bottom, ensuring all fillings are enclosed.

How To Toast A Wrap in An Air Fryer

For an extra crispy wrap, lightly brush it with oil before toasting. Pop the wrap in the air fryer at 200 degrees for around 5-10 minutes. For best results, carefully flip half-way through cooking. Be sure to check it on regularly until it is toasted to your taste.

If you air fryer has an ‘Extra Crisp’ setting you can use that, but be sure to reduce the time.

Using a Sandwich Press

Preheat the sandwich press. Place the wrap inside and close the lid. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the wrap is crispy and golden. This method is ideal for achieving uniform crispiness and melting the cheese perfectly.

Toast A Wrap In A Frying Pan

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Place the wrap seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and repeat on the other side. This method provides an even, crispy texture.

In the Oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C. Place the wrap on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. This method is great for toasting multiple wraps at once.

Under the Grill

Preheat the grill. Place the wrap on a baking tray and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on it as the grill can toast the wrap quickly.

Tips for the Perfect Toasted Wrap

Experiment with different fillings. Toasted wraps are incredibly versatile, so feel free to try various combinations of meats, vegetables, and cheeses.

If using ingredients like tomatoes or cucumber, place them in the centre of the wrap, surrounded by other ingredients, to prevent the wrap from becoming soggy.
