In a pan, heat a little oil and sauté the chopped onion until soft and lightly golden.

Cook until the meat is fully done and nicely browned.

In the same pan, place the wraps seam-side down and cook until golden and crispy on all sides.

Serve the wraps warm with yogurt on the side — dip, bite, and enjoy.
Toti’s Tips
- ✓Don't overfill the wraps, since too much filling makes them hard to roll tightly and the seam pops open while cooking.
- ✓Cook the wraps seam-side down first, so the heat sets the seam closed and keeps the filling from spilling out in the pan.
- ✓Use medium heat instead of high, because high heat browns the tortilla before the seam has time to seal and the inside heats through.
- ✓Press the wraps lightly with a spatula as they cook, which helps the whole surface make contact with the pan for even, crispy browning.
- ✓Cook the onion until soft before adding the meat, since raw onion stays crunchy and releases extra water that can make the filling soggy.
- ✓Keep the yogurt sauce simple and add it right before eating, since a cool sauce next to a hot crispy wrap is the whole point of the contrast.
- ✓Store extra cooked filling in the fridge and re-crisp assembled wraps in a dry pan, because reheating in the microwave leaves the tortilla soft instead of crisp.
Storage
- •Filling keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- •Re-crisp finished wraps in a dry pan for the best texture.
