Roll and Serve: Fold in the sides, roll tightly, slice in half, and serve warm.

Meal Prep Friendly: Cook the kebabs and quinoa ahead of time; store separately and assemble right before eating to avoid a soggy wrap.
Make it Vegan: Swap the meat kebabs for spiced grilled plant-based meat or falafel patties.
