Growing up in Texas the original Frito pie recipe that was popular is actually layered in a baking dish with onions and baked until bubbly. I experienced the way you are doing at fairs and carnivals as a teenager. I love either way!
I got lucky. My family has been in San Antonio since before Fritos were invented. SA was also home to the Chili Queens' reigns. I grew up on Frito Pie. I love it! I wish I could still eat it, but as you age, your innards get more wrecked. The smell alone takes me back 40 years. This video has brought on some hardcore nostalgia. There is nothing better in the winter. I'm now yearning for a big bag of the good stuff. Maybe it's time to go buy some TUMS or Zantac and just go for it.
Every place we volunteer, I always set out a couple of 6 qt slow cookers with a couple of different chilis with snack bagas of Fritos and Doritos, and a cooler with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, cheese, a few salsas, and sour cream. It's amazing how easy and inexpensive it is to feed 50+ people with meals like this. Clean up is easy too! 😉
My mom used to make loaded Doritos and she called them “walking tacos” cause it’s easy to carry around! Might try your cheese sauce on my hot Cheetos next!
I had never heard of Walking Tacos till last year when I worked the fair . Seemed like everyone had them though mainly because they were easy to carry around and delicious .
Omg. I can't wait to try this, esp the sauce. Thanks for sharing this, and please keep the channel up. It's one of my go-to places for finding recipes.
Oh you bring back good memories with the Fritos chili. Way back in the 1960's our Dad, who was lifetime military, when he would come home from maneuvers, he would sit down with us and we would have this as a special treat -- with his homemade chili. Very good memories. 🤓
Wolf chili is amazing, I always stock up whenever I find it 🤤 and the only reason I ever make chili myself is to put it on Fritos. Guess my Texan is showing lol 🤠
My favorite diet foods are springrolls, and sushi. Whatever diet you are on you can easily modify both. And they're quick and easy if you have chopped veg. Endless combinations. Tabouleh with kalamata pieces added and a lil kalamata juice will make anyone a tabouleh lover too. Hummus is also super versatile. One of my favorites is edemame hummus
Yummy, yummy! Fritos with chili & nacho sauce. And in years prior, especially as a a kid, enjoyed getting Hot Cheetos with the nacho cheese & chili - all from ice cream trucks. I've heard about the "loaded Doritos" before, but as walking tacos, and it was on TV.
Mmm I totally love your channel, the recipes you share are so yummy, another couple I need to make😊 thank you so much for bringing us such great recipes! ❣️❣️❣️
Looks so good. I finally got your cook book. Can't wait to start cooking. I am going to try the homemade flour tortillas this weekend. My husband is Mexican and I hope he is impressed. Thanks
In the KRGV area the real frito pie was served in schools, My older siblings made them for us younger ones Its corn chips, pinto beans cooked, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese served with corn bread and mexican rice, so delish
Hi! Can I ask how you like your GreenLife skillet/pot/cookware? I just purchased a few skillets of theirs and I'm very curious to know how you like yours.Is it truly non-stick? How do you like it overall. I bought the 7 and the 10 inch skillets. Thank you so much! Have a great weekend.
Another winner! Wolf's chili can't hold a candle to the chili I make, but it is enormously convenient. It is just what is wanted for frito pie and no apologies needed for using it. I also dump it over spaghetti, adding "Mexican" grated cheese and diced onions. It is a kind of Texan twist on Cincinnati chili.
Definitely recommend breaking up the Doritos just a bit, maybe into quarters? It works so well, because then you can use a fork with all of the other toppings. Great video!
Some folks call it "Taco in a Bag." I used to buy Wolf Brand Chili & also their canned tamales! I really loved them! (they haven't made them in years) I used to make a casserole where you line the 13X9 pan with tamales, pour chili over, then lots of cheese & bake. Kinda gross & super fatty but sure tasted good back in the 80's LOL! TFS- I want to make your easy cheese sauce! Sometimes I buy the Mission Cheese Sauce in a jar, thin it just a little, & add spices & heat in microwave for a quick dip for tortilla chips.
I love all your recipes so much! A few weeks ago I made your Caldo De Pollo and it was so good! I used some chayote squash in it for the first time and really liked the taste of them. Do you have any other recipes that calls for them? Thank you for all the great recipes!!
Simply love it. I didnt know what to eat, now i do. Thanks. I'm not going for the smaller bags, nooooooo i going full big bags and a humongus bowl i can find. I'm going big.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I do mine different ways but I do one thing different on the Frito pie is I add onions to mine. I like the way you make the cheese sauce. I don't add the sour cream. I am going to do that next time. I remember we were living in east Texas when the Frito pies first came out here about 1960. The only place we could get then was a few hamburger stands. Then people started making their own.
A lady after my own heart... Wolf brand only (although I like it with beans ala James Coney Island and yes 55 years in Texas 😆) and Fritos!! Eat it every time it gets cold here in Florida ( more this year :-).
That looks very interesting and tasty I think it's an awesome way to get the kids to eat something like out of a chip packet 😋 even for us big children 🤣 I enjoyed that thank you
