- Let the wraps sit for a minute before slicing to allow the cheese to set.

Note
Use cooked chicken that is not too wet to prevent soggy wraps. Adjust creamy binder to avoid an overly oozy filling. Freshly shredded cheese melts smoother. To make ahead, assemble wraps with chilled filling and cook them when ready to serve.
