Whoever said we can’t mix nostalgia with a little culinary creativity must have never tasted the simple yet scrumptious comforts of a Frito Pie. Rumor has it, this snazzy dish has its roots in the Southwestern parts of the U.S., and believe me, it’s as delightfully easy as it is satisfying. On those evenings when you’re juggling a late work email and your stomach’s growling louder than your last conference call, Frito Pie comes to the rescue. It’s your weeknight dinner saved by the ‘crunch.’ So, forget about the fancy ingredients and complicated steps—grab a bag of Fritos, some chili, and let’s make magic happen!
Pulling off a Frito Pie as the star of your dinner table is a no-brainer, but if you’re feeling fancy, try pairing it with a simple side salad for some freshness or some cozy cornbread to stick with the comfort food theme. I like to add a dollop of sour cream and some diced avocado on top for that creamy and cool counterbalance to the warm chili. For the full experience, don’t forget to serve it with some sweet tea or a light beer!
