🌯 Homemade Frito Chili Cheese Wrap 🌯

A fun and quick meal that combines crunchy Fritos, savory chili, melty cheese, and onions wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. If you’re a fan of the Frito Chili Cheese Wrap from Sonic, you’ll love this homemade version. It’s simple to make, customizable, and perfect for lunch, dinner, or a snack.

Ingredients:

  • Flour tortillas (medium or large; I recommend using a soft, flexible tortilla for easier folding)
  • Fritos Corn Chips (about 1/2 cup per wrap; for crunch and flavor)
  • Chili without beans (1 can, such as Hormel Chili or your favorite brand)
  • Red onion (1 small onion, finely diced)
  • Shredded cheddar cheese (about 1/2 cup per wrap; feel free to use other cheeses like Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend)
  • Optional toppings/add-ins:
  • Sour cream (for extra creaminess)
  • Jalapeños (fresh or pickled, for heat)
  • Salsa (for dipping or as a topping)
  • Hot sauce (for extra spice)
  • Shredded lettuce (for a fresh crunch)
  • Sliced avocado (for creaminess and a rich flavor)

Instructions:

1. Warm the Tortillas:

  • Place the flour tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften and warm them. This makes them much easier to fold around the filling and ensures they won’t crack.

2. Prepare the Chili:

  • Open the can of chili without beans (Hormel or any favorite brand works great). Pour it into a saucepan and heat over medium heat while stirring occasionally. You want it to be warm and simmering, which usually takes about 5-10 minutes on the stovetop.
  • Alternatively, for quicker prep, microwave the chili in a microwave-safe bowl for about 2 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even heating.

3. Prepare the Toppings:

  • Dice the red onion into small pieces. You can adjust the amount depending on your taste. Red onion adds a nice crunch and sharpness, but if you prefer a milder flavor, you can use green onions or skip it entirely.
  • Shred the cheddar cheese (or use pre-shredded cheese). If you’re a fan of melted cheese, use a good melty cheese like cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend. The more cheese, the better!

4. Assemble the Wrap:

  • Lay your warm flour tortilla flat on a clean surface, like a cutting board or large plate.
  • Sprinkle a handful of Fritos corn chips in the center of the tortilla. The Fritos provide a satisfying crunch and salty flavor.
  • Spoon warm chili generously over the Fritos. Make sure to leave space around the edges for folding.
  • Add a handful of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chili, allowing it to melt into the chili for a creamy, cheesy texture.
  • Top with diced red onion. You can add more or less depending on your preference, or substitute with green onions or even pickled onions for an extra tang.

5. Fold the Wrap:

  • Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly like a burrito, making sure the filling stays tucked inside. This method helps keep everything together and ensures your wrap isn’t overstuffed (which can make folding difficult).

6. Grill (Optional):

  • Toast the wrap for extra crunch and flavor: If you like your wrap crispy, you can grill it in a hot skillet or on a panini press for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy. This step adds a nice touch, but it’s optional.

7. Serve:

  • Serve warm with additional toppings on the side, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole. You can also drizzle hot sauce or taco sauce over the top for more flavor.

Optional Variations and Add-ins:

  1. Extra Spice:
  • If you like a spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled) inside the wrap or use a spicy salsa. You can even sprinkle some cayenne pepper or chili flakes inside for an extra heat boost.
  1. More Cheese:
  • Add a layer of Mexican blend cheese or Monterey Jack alongside the cheddar for a meltier, creamier texture. You can even add some cream cheese inside for extra richness.
  1. Make It Healthier:
  • Use whole wheat tortillas or low-carb tortillas if you’re looking for a healthier option. You can also add shredded lettuce or sliced tomatoes for a fresh and crisp addition.
  1. Add Protein:
  • If you want extra protein, try adding some ground beef, ground turkey, or shredded chicken to the chili, or even use leftover rotisserie chicken for a quicker meal.

This Homemade Frito Chili Cheese Wrap recipe is a versatile, quick, and delicious meal. You can customize it based on your preferences and what you have on hand. It’s perfect for busy weeknights or as a tasty snack for watching the game. Enjoy! 🌯🍴
