Storage/Reheating

Assembled wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be made a few hours in advance. Wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. For longer storage, keep the filling and dressing separate and assemble just before eating. The dressing can be refrigerated for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
