Homemade Frito Chili Cheese Wrap

  • Author: Chef Emy

Description

Your homemade Frito Chili Cheese Wrap is a fantastic idea for anyone craving a comforting, savory snack that combines the crunch of Fritos with the warmth of chili and melted cheese, all wrapped up in a soft flour tortilla. This recipe is not only easy to make but also customizable and perfect for quick lunches, game day snacks, or whenever the mood strikes for something deliciously satisfying. Here’s a closer look at how to create this tasty treat:

 

Ingredients

  • Flour Tortillas: The base of your wrap, providing a soft, pliable layer to encase the filling.
  • Fritos Corn Chips: Adds a delightful crunch and corn flavor that pairs perfectly with the chili.
  • Chili Without Beans: Hormel is a recommended brand, but any favorite chili will do. Opting for chili without beans keeps the texture consistent and focused on the meat and sauce.
  • Red Onion: Diced red onion offers a sharp, slightly sweet flavor that cuts through the richness of the chili and cheese.
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese: Melts into the warm chili, adding a creamy, tangy element that binds all the ingredients together.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tortillas:

    • Begin by warming the flour tortillas in the microwave for just a few seconds until they are soft and pliable. This step is crucial for ensuring that your wraps are easy to fold and won’t tear when you’re assembling them.

  2. Warm the Chili:

    • Heat your chili on the stovetop or in the microwave until it’s warmed through. If using the microwave, consider covering the chili with a microwave-safe lid or paper towel to avoid splatters.

  3. Assemble the Wraps:

    • Lay a warm tortilla flat on your work surface. Start by placing a handful of Fritos in the center of the tortilla, creating a crunchy base for your wrap. Spoon the warm chili over the Fritos, being careful not to overfill. Sprinkle a generous amount of diced red onion over the chili for a burst of freshness and flavor. Top everything with shredded cheddar cheese, which will begin to melt from the warmth of the chili.

  4. Fold It Up:

    • Carefully fold the tortilla over the filling, tucking in the sides as you go, much like folding a burrito. The goal is to encase all the delicious filling securely within the tortilla, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor.

  5. Final Touch:

    • For an extra touch of warmth and to help the cheese melt even more, you can briefly heat the assembled wrap in the microwave for a few seconds or in a dry skillet over medium heat until the tortilla is slightly crispy and the cheese is melted to your liking.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Enjoy Immediately: The Frito Chili Cheese Wrap is best enjoyed fresh from assembly while the Fritos are still crunchy, and the cheese is perfectly melted.
  • Pair with Sides: Consider serving your wrap with a side of sour cream, guacamole, or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
