2. Prepare the Wrap or Pastry:

• If using tortilla wraps:
  • Warm the wraps in a pan or microwave for a few seconds to soften them, making them easier to roll.
• If using puff pastry:
  • Roll out the pastry and cut into squares large enough to wrap the filling.

4. Cook (Optional):

• If using a tortilla, you can lightly grill the roll on a pan to make it crispy, pressing it down slightly to seal the edges.
• If using puff pastry, bake the rolls at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
