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

Dairy and Bread Products:

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

Instructions

  1. Whisk together tangy sour cream, zesty salsa, and aromatic taco seasoning in a mixing bowl until smooth and well-integrated.
  2. Position a soft tortilla on a clean work surface, creating a canvas for layering vibrant ingredients.
  3. Generously spread the creamy sauce across the bottom half of the tortilla, ensuring a small border remains uncovered to facilitate clean rolling.
  4. Create a colorful foundation by adding crisp lettuce as the first layer, providing a fresh, crunchy base.
  5. Scatter diced tomatoes over the lettuce, introducing a burst of juicy brightness to the wrap.
  6. Distribute creamy avocado chunks, adding a rich, buttery texture and complementary flavor profile.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheese to introduce a melty, savory element that enhances the overall taste experience.
  8. Layer tender, shredded chicken across the prepared ingredients, serving as the protein-packed centerpiece.
  9. Crush Fritos corn chips directly over the chicken, introducing an unexpected and delightful crunch to the wrap.
  10. Drizzle an additional portion of the signature sauce, amplifying the wrap’s moisture and flavor complexity.
  11. Carefully fold the tortilla’s sides inward, creating a secure envelope that contains all the vibrant ingredients.
  12. Roll the wrap tightly, ensuring a compact and neat presentation that prevents ingredient spillage.
  13. Slice each completed wrap diagonally, creating visually appealing halves ready for serving.

Notes

  • Swap out sour cream for Greek yogurt to make the wrap healthier and boost protein content.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas and corn chips for those with wheat sensitivities.
  • Keep avocado from browning by adding a splash of lime juice when dicing.
  • Prep ingredients in advance and store separately to maintain crispness and prevent soggy wraps.
