Frito Pie
Cheap, hearty, and eternally beloved.
Ingredients
- 1 two-ounce bag of original Fritos
- 1 pot of chili, homemade or canned (I am loath to endorse any sort of canned meat product, but Texans swear by Wolf Brand.)
- grated cheddar cheese
- diced white onion
Directions
- Take a knife or some scissors and split the bag down the front.
- Ladle in a scoop of chili.
- Top with a mound of cheese and a heap of onion.
- Festoon your creation to your heart’s content (sour cream, jalapeños, avocado, and so on), though expect to be chastised by purists.
- Eat it straight out of the bag, preferably atop a thick pile of paper napkins.
