Ingredients

Scale

Wrap Sauce

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup salsa (medium or chunky preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning

Wrap Filling

  • 4 large flour tortillas (wrap-sized)
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomato (Roma or cherry)
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or grilled)
  • 1 cup crushed Fritos corn chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together sour cream, salsa, and taco seasoning until smooth and creamy to make the flavorful southwestern sauce.
  2. Assemble the wrap: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread a generous tablespoon of the prepared sauce over the bottom half, leaving a 1-inch border to make rolling easier.
  3. Add the fresh and savory toppings: Layer shredded lettuce, diced tomato, diced avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded chicken evenly over the sauced area for a balanced and delicious filling.
  4. Add the crunch: Top with crushed Fritos corn chips and drizzle an additional spoonful of sauce on top to enhance both texture and flavor.
  5. Roll the wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll tightly from the bottom up, enclosing the filling securely.
  6. Serve: Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, then slice each wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie or grilled chicken for convenience and flavor. Freshly cooked chicken also works well.
  • Adjust the amount of salsa in the sauce to control spice and moisture.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour tortillas with corn tortillas or gluten-free wraps.
  • The recipe is best served immediately to maintain the crispiness of the crushed Fritos.
  • Leftovers can be stored wrapped tightly in the refrigerator for up to 1 day but may lose crunch.
