Frito Pie
Frito Pie is a straightforward layered dish that combines crunchy corn chips with hot chili, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped onions. The warm chili softens the chips slightly while the melted cheese adds creaminess. Optional toppings like sour cream, mustard, and jalapenos add tanginess and heat. It’s a quick, snack-style comfort food that highlights the contrast between crunchy base and flavorful toppings.
