3. Add slaw; increase heat to medium. Cook, uncovered, until slaw is crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.

Critical Control Point: Heat to 165°F for 15 seconds.

Critical Control Point: Hold hot for service at 135°F for up to 2 hours.

4. Portion 1-1/2 cups (three #8 scoops) beef mixture onto 1 large tortilla. Add toppings, as desired. Fold over sides of tortilla and roll-up to enclose filling. Cut wrap diagonally in half for two servings.
