With this crispy Southwest handheld, you'll stack up juicy pulled chicken, creamy avocado, bold cheddar, and those salty Fritos for a down-to-earth flavor bomb. It comes together in no time so it's perfect for quick weeknights or lunchboxes and keeps each bite breezy and crunchy.

Must-Have Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas: sturdy enough to hug everything inside without ripping
  • Taco seasoning: brings zingy southwestern taste, but be mindful of how salty yours is
  • Salsa: chunky is fun, medium keeps it saucy, and fresh adds some zip
  • Sour cream: makes everything nice and smooth, gives body to the sauce
  • Crushed Fritos: that classic salty crunch layers in for a little fun
  • Shredded cheddar cheese: melty and sharp for a cheesy punch
  • Diced avocado: makes things super creamy and boosts healthy fats
  • Diced tomato: sweet cherry tomatoes or drier Roma work great for less mess
  • Shredded lettuce: light and crisp so each bite feels fresh
  • Cooked shredded chicken: rotisserie is moist, grilled brings a smoky twist

Super-Simple Steps

Finish and Serve
Repeat for all your tortillas, slice on a diagonal, and eat right away so every bite stays crunchy.
Wrap It Up
Fold over the sides and roll the tortilla up tight from the base so the filling can't escape. Makes for easy munching.
Top with Crunch and Sauce
Scatter crushed Fritos over the top and hit it with more sauce—just a drizzle for good measure.
Add Fillings
Toss on the lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheddar, and pulled chicken so there's a bit of everything in each bite.
Spread Sauce on Tortilla
Lay your tortilla flat, swipe a generous spoonful of sauce on the bottom part, but keep the edge bare to prevent messes when you wrap it.
Make the Sauce
Mix up the sour cream, salsa, and taco seasoning till it’s nice and smooth. That’s your magic flavor spread.
