Frito Chili Pie (Walking Taco Casserole)
Description
This Frito Chili Pie assembles Fritos corn chips in a casserole dish topped with prepared chili con carne, diced onions, and shredded cheddar cheese. The dish is baked until the chili is heated through and the cheese melts, resulting in a blend of crunchy and creamy textures with savory chili flavor.
The baking process slightly softens the corn chips, while the cheese provides a gooey layer that binds the elements together. The diced onions add a crisp, fresh bite contrasting with the smooth chili and cheese.
It can be served directly from the casserole, optionally garnished with chopped cilantro, sour cream, or pickled jalapeños to add freshness, cooling creaminess, or heat depending on preference. This makes a hearty meal suitable for casual gatherings or family dinners.
