'Fritos,' the food manufacturer famous for its crunchy corn chips, has teamed up with 'Sonic Drive-In' to bring co-branded burrito foods to Sonic's menu. Sonic Drive-In has a wide array of comfort foods that are full of experimental flavors, and it often tries unique menu combinations to appease customers. The 'Fritos Chili Cheese Wrap' is a high-quality Sonic burrito stuffed with chili, cheese, and small pieces of Fritos corn chips.
The Fritos chips give the cheese and chili burrito, which is typically very juicy, an added crunch. This diversifies the mouthfeel of the burrito by bringing a unique product into its ingredients. This burrito will be available for a limited time at participating Sonic Drive-In locations and is available in regular and 'Junior' sizes, which are roughly 650 calories and 380 calories, respectively.
