Expert Tips and Tricks
Here are some helpful pointers to elevate your wraps to next-level status:
Make-Ahead Magic
You can make the chicken filling up to 3 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge, then simply fill and grill when you’re ready to eat.
Shred Your Own Cheese
Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that can prevent smooth melting. Freshly shredded cheese melts better and gives a gooier texture.
Get That Golden Crust
To really crisp up your wraps:
Use butter in the skillet for extra flavor.
Cover the skillet for part of the cook time to help steam and melt the cheese while still browning the outside.

Chopped jalapeños
Hot sauce or chili flakes

Storage and Reheating
