Answers to Recipe Questions

Can I use other types of cheese?

Absolutely! Swiss, provolone, or pepper jack add different flavors. Mix and match to suit your taste.

Should these wraps be served chilled or at room temperature?

Chilled wraps slice more cleanly, but they can be served at room temperature if preferred. Both options are delicious.

Are there vegan alternatives?

Yes, swap dairy cheeses and cream cheese for plant-based versions and select tortillas free from animal products.

Will flavored cream cheese work?

Herb, garlic, or jalapeño cream cheese bring exciting twists to the classic combination.

What drinks pair well?

Crisp white wine or cold lager nicely complement the tangy and creamy flavors in the snack.
