Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
Vegetables and Toppings:
- 1 whole avocado, diced
- 1 1/3 cups shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomato
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Fritos, crushed
Sauce and Wrap:
- 4 large tortillas (wrap size)
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup salsa
- 1 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning
Instructions
- Whisk together the creamy sour cream, zesty salsa, and aromatic taco seasoning in a mixing bowl until thoroughly blended.
- Position a soft tortilla flat on a clean surface, creating a foundation for the wrap.
- Generously spread the prepared sauce across the bottom half of the tortilla, ensuring a small border remains uncovered around the edges.
- Create a vibrant layer of crisp lettuce as the first textural element on the sauce-coated surface.
- Sprinkle diced tomatoes, adding a fresh and juicy component to the wrap’s profile.
- Distribute creamy avocado chunks for a rich, smooth contrast to the other ingredients.
- Scatter shredded cheese to introduce a melty, savory dimension.
- Carefully place shredded chicken as the protein centerpiece of the wrap.
- Crush Fritos and sprinkle the crispy fragments over the chicken, providing an unexpected crunch.
- Drizzle an additional layer of sauce to enhance moisture and flavor.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly to secure all ingredients.
- Slice the completed wrap diagonally, creating two manageable halves for easy consumption.
- Serve immediately to maintain the wrap’s optimal texture and temperature.
Notes
- Swap sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter, protein-packed version that maintains creamy texture.
- Gluten-free option works perfectly by using corn tortillas or large lettuce wraps instead of flour tortillas.
- Experiment with rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation and deeper flavor complexity.
- Add extra crunch by lightly toasting the wrap in a skillet after rolling for a crispy exterior.
