- Fold in sides first.
- Roll up from the bottom, sealing the edge with a dab of cheese or water.
4️⃣ Pan-Fry Until Crispy
- Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat.
- Cook rolls seam-side down first, turning until golden brown on all sides (~2-3 mins per side).
5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!

- Extra cheese sauce
- Guacamole
- Pico de gallo
