FAQs
What kind of cheese sauce should I use?
A smooth, pourable nacho cheese sauce works best. You can use store-bought or homemade.
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Yes, but for best results, toast them just before serving to maintain crispiness.
Are there gluten-free options?
Use gluten-free tortillas and check that your seasoning mix and Doritos are gluten-free.
Can I freeze these wraps?
It’s not recommended due to the sour cream and lettuce. However, you can freeze the meat and cheese filling separately.
What toppings go well with these wraps?
Shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, jalapeños, guacamole, or extra sour cream are great options.
Can I use a different type of meat?
Absolutely! Ground turkey, shredded chicken, or even pulled pork work well.
What’s the best way to crush Doritos?
Place them in a sealed bag and gently crush with your hands or a rolling pin.
How do I prevent the wrap from falling apart?
Don’t overfill, and make sure to fold and toast the wrap seam-side down first.
Can I bake the wraps instead of pan-toasting?
Yes. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes or until crispy.
What side dishes go well with these?
Mexican rice, refried beans, or a simple corn salad pair well.
