Ingredients

3. Bake
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the wraps seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tortillas are lightly golden and the cheese is melted.
4. Serve
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or green onions, and with extra ranch dressing or barbecue sauce for dipping.
