Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards and then fold the bottom up and over the filling, continuing to roll tightly into a wrap shape.

Heat a skillet over medium heat with a light coating of vegetable oil.

Place the wrap seam-side down and toast for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and toast the other side.
