Storage Tips:

1. Refrigeration: If you have leftover Crunchy Cheeseburger Wraps, store them in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in aluminum foil. Properly stored, they can be refrigerated for up to 2-3 days. When reheating, place the wrap in a preheated oven or toaster oven until heated through.

To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating in the oven.
