How to serve
Serve with a side of crisp salad or sweet potato fries for a complete meal. A light dipping sauce or extra creamy dressing on the side can add an extra layer of flavor. Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley make a nice garnish and freshen up each bite.

Wrap leftovers tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to two days. Keep any sauces separate to prevent the wrap from becoming soggy. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave before eating to keep the filling warm and creamy.
