- 3If meal prepping, store the avocado mash in a separate small container and add it just before eating to maintain freshness and prevent browning.
- 4Use a large, sharp knife for a clean cut when slicing the wrap in half.
- 5For extra flavor, try using a flavored tortilla like spinach or sun-dried tomato.
