The wraps were a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I'll find a simpler recipe next time.

The wraps were a bit too expensive for my taste. I think I'll make my own wraps at home next time.

The wraps fell apart when I tried to eat them. I think I'll use a different type of tortilla next time.

The wraps were a bit too spicy for me. I think I'll use a milder salsa next time.

The wraps were a bit too dry for me. I think I'll add some more sauce next time.

These wraps are a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. I also like to add some chopped vegetables and cheese for extra flavor.

So easy and so good! I love that I can customize the fillings to my liking. My favorite combination is hummus, roasted vegetables, and feta cheese.
