You can also purchase pre-made tortilla wraps from the freezer section at large supermarkets or from online grocery retailers.

Pros and Cons of this invention

Coconut oil is a healthy and nourishing wrap material. It is high in saturated fat, but it also contains medium-chain fatty acids, which are beneficial for the body. Coconut oil has been shown to improve heart health, regulate blood sugar levels, and promote weight loss. However, it should not be used as a regular wrap material because of its high saturated fat content. Reducing the amount of saturated fat in your diet is one of the most important goals for heart health, and it should not be replaced with coconut oil.

How to Store the Wrap

Coconut oil makes delicious and healthy wraps that can be enjoyed at any time. Store the wrap in an airtight container to keep it fresh. When you are ready to prepare your wrap, simply place a piece of wax paper or parchment on the cutting board. Using an electric knife, slice the wrap into small strips and spread them out over the surface of the paper. Roll away from yourself until completely covered. Once your wrap is rolled up tightly, fold it in half and tuck in end into roll. Repeat this procedure for all of your wraps.

How to Eat the Wrap. The best way to enjoy coconut wraps is without a fork and with your hands! Just take one end of the roll up between your thumb and forefinger and twist it open. Take a bite with your mouth closed, keeping fingers in front of lips to protect teeth from any soft ingredients such as avocado, and then tuck in end of the wrap into your mouth. When finished, place wrap on plate and enjoy!The food safety measures and precautions provided in this recipe can help prevent cross contamination.
