Ingredients

Scale

Proteins:

  • 2 cups chicken, shredded

Vegetables and Produce:

  • 1 whole avocado, diced
  • 1 1/3 cups lettuce, shredded
  • 1/2 cup tomato, diced

Dairy and Cheese:

  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3/4 cup sour cream

Seasonings and Sauces:

  • 3/4 cup salsa
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning

Wraps and Crunchy Topping:

  • 4 large tortillas (wrap size)
  • 1 cup Fritos, crushed

Instructions

  1. Craft a zesty blend by whisking sour cream, salsa, and taco seasoning until smooth and fully integrated.
  2. Position a tortilla on a clean surface, generously spreading the sauce across the bottom half while maintaining a small border around the edges.
  3. Layer ingredients strategically: scatter crisp lettuce, juicy tomato chunks, creamy avocado slices, shredded cheese, and tender chicken across the sauce-covered tortilla.
  4. Crush Fritos into crumbly pieces and sprinkle evenly over the chicken, adding a delightful crunch to the wrap’s texture.
  5. Drizzle an additional tablespoon of sauce over the layered ingredients to enhance moisture and flavor.
  6. Carefully fold the tortilla’s sides inward, then roll tightly to create a compact, sealed wrap ensuring no fillings escape.
  7. Slice the wrap diagonally in half for an appealing presentation and easier handling.
  8. Repeat the process to create additional wraps, maintaining consistent assembly technique.
  9. Serve immediately to preserve the Fritos’ crisp texture and wrap’s fresh taste.
  10. Recommended preparation time: 15 minutes | No cooking required | Perfect for quick, satisfying meals.

Notes

  • Customize the heat level by choosing mild, medium, or spicy salsa to match your taste preferences.
  • Replace Fritos with other crunchy alternatives like tortilla chips, corn chips, or crushed crackers for varied texture and flavor.
  • Make the wrap gluten-free by using corn tortillas and checking that taco seasoning is gluten-free certified.
  • Prep ingredients ahead of time for quick assembly, storing chicken, chopped vegetables, and sauce separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
