ingredients horizontally in lower center of the tortilla. Fold the bottom third of the
tortilla up over the filling. Take the left side of the tortilla and fold it over the filling.
Repeat with the right side of the tortilla, then roll it up to enclose the filling in a neat,
easy to eat packet. Wrap in sandwich paper and secure with tape, slice in half
diagonally.
CCP: Hold meat at or below 41 degrees under refrigeration until assembly.
