Instructions
- Craft a zesty blend by whisking sour cream, salsa, and taco seasoning until smooth and fully integrated.

- Crush Fritos into crumbly pieces and sprinkle evenly over the chicken, adding a delightful crunch to the wrap’s texture.
- Drizzle an additional tablespoon of sauce over the layered ingredients to enhance moisture and flavor.
- Carefully fold the tortilla’s sides inward, then roll tightly to create a compact, sealed wrap ensuring no fillings escape.
- Slice the wrap diagonally in half for an appealing presentation and easier handling.
- Repeat the process to create additional wraps, maintaining consistent assembly technique.
- Serve immediately to preserve the Fritos’ crisp texture and wrap’s fresh taste.
- 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.
