If you have any leftover sheet pan salmon wrap components, store them separately for best results.

- Tortillas: Store the tortillas in a sealed plastic bag at room temperature.
- Reheating: Reheat the salmon and vegetables in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until warmed through.

- Tortillas: You can use any type of tortilla you like such as whole wheat, corn or gluten free tortillas.
