well look i'm 75% English & Welsh (25% German) so maybe it's genetic but I LOVE beans on toast! No other Americans agree with me? Anyone? Bueller? I also love Welsh cakes, which my German grandma always fixed for my Welsh grandpa, and she was really, REALLY good at it.
We mostly use cheddar cheese and me personally, I use beans in my chili and crushed whole tomatoes. That looked amazing..❤❤❤❤ I cook with authentic spices and peppers. For me, smoked paprika, and diced jalapeños.
ITS CALLED TACOS🌮🌮IN A BAG....🇺🇸🦅 You cook your hamburger meat season lightly add onions Cut up your tomatoes small pcs Chop your Lettuce a Bag of shredded Cheese And your small bag of Doritos 1st...you smash the Doritos in the bag 2nd...Add all your ingredients above into the bag then close the top of the bag and Shake well Then You get a SPOON and EAT IT WHILE YOU WALK AROUND TACOS🌮🌮 IN A BAG... I usually Buy The Plastic "SOUP SPOONS" at the Dollar Stores THEY HOLD... SO MUCH MORE FOOD ON THEM👍🏻👍🏻 It's Really GOOD TASTE JUST LIKE TACOS 🌮🌮

Would love for you guys to watch/react the kind of "history of chili" video from Glen and Friends Cooking: "Beans Or No Beans??? Early 1900s Chili Recipes - Old Cookbook Show" It's actually a really good video where he goes back through a number of antique/vintage cookbooks to see how the idea of chili started out and/or evolved. It also **kind of** settles the "beans or no beans [in chili] debate" [as far as "history goes both ways, do what you like best!"]... Then maybe try a few of the different kinds of chili out there: Chili con carne [chili with meat] Southwest style [with meat, beans and corn] Vegetarian [no meat, but beans, corn, and other things like zucchini, squash, yams, peas, or what have you] Cincinatti [chili over or mixed into spaghetti in place of marinara sauce, basically "spicy spaghetti"]
As a Texan, that 2 alarm chili mix is pretty darn good! We use it every few weeks or so in my home. I usually put the Fritos in a bowl first, then spoon chili over it, grate some cheddar cheese on it, and top with a few diced onions, a spoonful of sour cream, and maybe a few green onions for color. It looks like you did a great job putting together one of our comfort foods. Eating it with items from Kroger and having it with a Dr. Pepper makes you honorary Texans!
Need those Fritos Scoops on the base, that way it's like eating nachos... just grab a chip from the bottom and scoop up some chili... and you're golden. No spoons needed.
Central Texas native here... Yep you nailed it! Ultimate Texan comfort food. Loved those freezing cold friday night football games... frito pie in a split-open bag of fritos from the concession stand ,with chili spooned in, some onions & cheese to top it off. Life don't get no better!
Native Texan and Make this chili all the time. Never put bell pepper in it before. Might consider using a can of diced green chilis and diced tomatoes. Also any time a recipe calls for water if you can substitute beef, chicken or vegetable broth it really adds a deeper flavor. Looks awesome.
There was a time when Frito Pie was a concession stand food at ball games or carnivals/fairs(like buying hot dogs or chili dogs) but it quickly became a household snack. The main ingredient to Frito Pie is Fritos and Chili. Anything extra, even the cheese, is optional and to your taste. It just seems natural to add cheese.
I just had one at my towns Night Out Against Crime. I don't know what it is but it just tastes better when you with good company,listening to good music,and watching your kids smile from ear to ear.
I love having this at football games! As a native Texan, this is something that I love to eat! Generally, I put the Fritos in the bowl, add the chili on top, then onions and cheddar cheese. I don't like sour cream, so I don't use it.
My mom is from Texas and she made us Frito pie often. I still make it today. A store in Kansas used to use take snack size Fritos and pour in a spoon of chili and sell it to kids for 5 cents..... obviously a long time ago!
You're using your cast iron skillet!!! Millions of Southern women, their mothers and grandmothers are smiling about that!! 😊 Nice thing about a lot of our foods is you can tweak them to suit your taste. Just dont mess with our gravy and biscuits 😉 Chili goes with everything, as far as Im concerned! I used to beg for Cowboy Spaghetti (chili used in place of spaghetti sauce) for breakfast as a kid.
Cast iron as the all purpose cookware for the WIN! I use my 16" cast iron skillet for virtually *everything* that doesn't go on the grill or smoker...breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My girlfriend is from Rhode Island (albeit from somewhat distant Georgia roots...she loves my collards), but she's terrified of using my cast iron skillet or Dutch oven, lol.
I love your cooking videos! It’s not always perfect. You don’t always know what you’re doing, but you have fun. It also usually tastes amazing regardless. We really need to promote that this is what cooking really is: having fun, sometimes making a few mistakes and making improvements next time. Most people don’t cook like celebrity chefs
I'm from Texas and we do the same and add cheese,diced onions and sour cream(optional). We use Chili Cheese Fritos and I've had them in Doritos(not the same).We call them "walking Frito Pies".
As a third generation Texan, I have always had my frito pie with a bowl of fritos first, then pile on the chili (and yes, any kind of chili you prefer) then add cheese and let it melt down properly. Lastly, add anything you like. Such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, etcetera
Wick Fowler (the brand of chili fixings) won the first chili cookoff in Terlingua, Texas. We put the fritos in a bowl and chili and fixings on top. At fairs and rodeos, it is served in single serving size Frito bags, the cut the side off of the bag and put in the chili and fixings.
I think the Wick Fowler chili (the mix you used) is a little heavy, but it is probably better for you because it is whole food and not a lot of ingredients that you can't pronounce. Maybe less chili powder? I like Chili-O mix, but it does have all the added ingredients. Gotta be Fritos, but Scoops rather than original. But the most important part is the chili.
They only had Fritos because someone from the U.S. sent Fritos to them. If you want them to use Frito Scoops, then you or someone else from the U.S. will have to send the Frito Scoops to them.
Mixing that all together will make the Fritos get soggy. Put Fritos in a bowl and spoon the chili over them, put cheese and diced onions on top and eat right away. From a 71 year old Texan that has eaten chili pie all if my life.
How I've always layered it is the chips go in the bowl first. Then you put the chili over the chips. Add shredded cheese, diced onions, and sour cream on top. Chives on top are an option as well. Its a great meal.
@@PatrickDaviswimiwamwamwazzle I don't let it sit long brother, lol. The cheese and sour cream really cool it off, as do the fritos. Personally, I mix it up all up so there's a bit of everything in each bite.
Texans have always called it Frito Pie, and it was served in single serve bags of Fritos at pools in the summer and football games in the winter. Other states have started calling it walking taco and adding all kinds of things that didn’t used to be in there. Lots of hometown fast food places serve it as regular part of their menu.
I love walking tacos! We get a bunch of mini bags of nacho doritos, whip up a big batch of taco seasoned meat, bowls of sides/toppings and then everyone grabs a bag and puts in whatever they want.
This was a tradition at football games, especially in the colder nights. The concession stand would use individual size of fritos and slice them lengthwise (so that more of the good stuff got to the bottom) and pour the chili into the bag. Then you could add a variety of toppings. It was always a favorite. Now for Doritios, you should look at chicken dorito pie.
Cowboy Kent and Shan are Gods children they are. Ive watched Kent for years. Back in 2019 when my wife passed he actually called me to give his condolences. That man is such a good person and his wife is a kind heart. They are people of the Earth so to speak and Im proud to be part of their viewership and fans. Good folk indeed. And his food is YUM YUM every time. The man knows his iron skillet too :) Cant say enough good things about them folk. Id add more sour cream cause I LOVE sour cream. BTW Carroll Shelby has a great chili mix i na paper bag here in the US . Not sure you have access to it there. Try a walking taco. Small hand sized bag of doritos crushed and opened, then shove in some chili ( I like mine thin and a bit runny. Helps absorb into the Doritos) , lettuce, onion, tomato, and sour cream and eat from the bag. Yummy.
First time I had it was at a little league baseball game from a concession stand and they served it right out of a mini Frito bag. Open bag and add chili, cheese and onion. This was in the 70's and I still eat it today.
Wonderful discovery! I've been eating these since back in the '60s, and still do once or twice a month. Chili addict, I confess. To answer you question, yes, I do put chili over rice. However, I make a taco rice that has a can of chili beans in it, then a layer of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, a can of beef tamales, then the chili, and a final layer of cheese. Drizzle salsa or picante sauce on top and several dollops of sour cream. Eat until it comes out your ears every time you try to swallow -- that's how you know when to stop eating -- then go take a nap.
@@brendafrazier811 Perhaps, but it would be a good death. ;) In case you ever try it, know that a big glass of Ovaltine is the antidote of choice. It's kept me alive all these years.
Alabama here. We usually serve Fritos as a topper for chili or as the chip for tacos instead of a traditional taco shell. If serving with chili, we make our family chili recipe then top the bowl with whatever options each person chooses to make an individual chili Frito pie. Options are often Fritos, saltines, buttered bread or buttered saltines, onions, sour cream, cheese, tomatoes, and jalapeños. A taco bar is the same only there’s usually taco meat, beans, Fritos, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and anything else like that. We’re just a “do it your own way” kind of family. Your recipe looked delicious!
I'm in Texas and I use that chili kit when I'm being lazy. 😀 I use coarse ground beef with it so the chunks are larger. I love Fritos and could sit and eat them by themselves. My wife and daughters were big into Girl Scouts and walking tacos was a regular thing when they went camping. I grew up eating Wolf brand chili but it isn't as good as it used to be. Today, I buy a can when we have tamales and I like it as a sauce to pour over them.
We put the cheese on the hot chili to get it melty, put it in bowls and then just add fritos, sour cream, onions and jalapeños to the individual bowels to keep fritos crispy.
Yes, I love Frito pies! I'm from Missouri and I cover a plate with Fritos, spoon on some canned chili, usually Wolf's brand with beans, top with cheese, and throw it in the microwave for about a minute and a half! YUMMY!
At high school football games in Texas on Friday night, nearly every home stadium has a food booth, and this is #1 because it's so simple. They slit open the side of a small bag of fritos, add one scoop chili, add a handful of cheese, then you can add onions, sour cream, jalapenos, etc from the condiment table. These are really good in late October when the air is nippy and you can just see your breath...
I'm a southerner from Florida! I love Frito pie. I like to to add to my portion some shredded cheddar cheese and a huge dollop of sour cream. Bon appetit!
Glad y'all enjoy our American food. We love y'all, too! Best Frito pie I had in Texas didn't use chili, but instead had a layer of chopped brisket in BBQ sauce. So good! 😋😋😋
@@Mrhandfriends Smoke a brisket on your new smoker, chop it up and add some BBQ sauce, then put it on some Fritos and Bob's your uncle, you've got BBQ Frito pie! Also great as a sandwich filling much like the pulled pork slider Baby H liked so much at Spitfire! IIRC, it was Coulter's BBQ that did the BBQ Frito pie. Coulter's also had free ice cream and 32 oz drinks. My best friend Ray and I used to always end our meals there with a 32 oz root beer float 'to go'. 😋😋😋
Texan here. I have never eaten chili with rice. Or pasta. My favorite is chili cornbread casserole. Make chili (i have never liked canned) and mix up a box of jiffy cornmuffin mix which is a sweet cornbread just like instructios say for cornbread. Then put chili in bottom of a baking dish. Pour cornbread batter on top. Bake until cornbread is done. It is amazing!
It’s always hilarious to hear someone from England say they can’t get spices… you dominated the spice trade. You *can* get any spice some just cost more in transit than others. But you literally have access to the *entire* spice trade.
Last time I went to Florida, I couldn’t find any oranges. They grow them and ship them out for cash. Maybe the UK is the same with spices. They sell them to other people but don’t keep any for themselves because they rather have the money.
its been a while since ive had some frito pie. i went to highschool in texas, every friday for lunch was frito pie. it was delicious even though it was a school lunch
My grandma always made this for us when we went camping, I loved topping it with red onion, sour cream, cheese, and mustard. We always used Dennisons chunky chili and we crushed the Fritos at the bottom of the bowl and topped with chili. Such a good and warming dish
Throw some Fritos in the bowl and top them with chili, shredded cheese, and chopped onions if you like them. You'll never have chili any other way afterwards.
Frito pie is what I am making for tomorrow night. I use the Wolf brand with beans, but I add sour cream on the top. It helps cur the acid if you have digestive issues. lol I can't do spicey.
Idk if its still available, but did anyone ever try the Wolf brand deer chili? It actually was pretty good. I haven't even looked for it in years. I will next time at the grocery store though.
The way I was introduced to this dish was in the lunch window at the Woolworth's in Santa Fe NM. You'd get a small bag of Frito's that would be cut open across the front. A scoop of chili was dumped into the chips, add a squirt of crema and ala carte onions. Grab a plastic spoon and away you go.
Like Frito Pie, I make Hay Stacks... Instead of a skillet meal I make it like a salad... Later by layer... Frito Scoops, chili, peppers and onions, lettuce, shredded cheese and top with sour cream...eat like a Taco Salad... Delicious
Texan here. I make chili and frito pie a lot in the fall and winter, usually for football game watching. (go Dallas Cowboys and Baylor Bears!) you can definitely switch up your chili to make it more how you like it. As I watched, I wanted to add beer instead of water, jalapeños instead of bell peppers, and yes, a few shakes of Worcestershire sauce for depth of flavor. (Anyone wanting tips for your chili just google as many Terlingua winning recipes as possible and see what looks good to you.) I personally have never heard of bell peppers in chili, but you do you! Also, the building of the pie is important. We do it individually in bowls so the Fritos don’t get soggy. Chili on bottom, then Fritos, cheddar, sour cream, and chopped green onions. One of my absolute fsvorites!! We have been to many chili cook offs, in homes and big ones in an outdoor setting. There are bowls of Fritos and cheese around to add and sometimes bowls of Tums. Haha. Also yes, stadium or concession frito pies are small bags of Fritos cut open, with a scoop of chili, and a handful of shredded cheese, with a plastic fork sticking out if it. Things I’ve discovered I like in my chili, brown beer, brown sugar, Worcestershire, and all the mains like onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, jalapeño, tomato sauce, ground beef.
Growing up when my mom would make this, she'd smash the Frito's up to use as a "pie crust" then layer the other ingredients on top, neither is wrong just gives a different texture when you eat it.
Often I'll throw down a layer of fritos, cover it with canned chilie, and heat it up in the oven, melting the cheese at the end. It gives a nice mixture of textures depending on how much moisture the fritos have absorbed. Glad to see y'all enjoying something I've been eating since childhood.
Great thing about Frito pie is that it’s delicious even with regular ol’ canned chili (i prefer Hormel, with beans), don’t even have to be homemade. Just don’t be stingy with the cheese! I like to add generous blasts of Louisiana hot sauces for the kick.👍
I've used that 2 alarm chili kit for years. 😊 I really like it. You can control Worcestershire sauce in the ground beef while I'm browning it. I also add McCormick Montreal Steak seasoning to the beef before adding the tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes and the seasoning packets. I add 2 cans of kidney beans and 2 cans of chili beans and beef broth. Serve with sour cream, cheese, green onions, and salsa on top.
Cowboy Ken was using the Fritos Scoops which are about twice the size of regular Fritos. I'm wondering if the people using Doritos are going for a more taco salad. Great job!
Great job guys!! It's funny because I use the same chili mix and I saw Mr. H grab the cayenne pepper package and thought OH No!! because I know how hot it is 😄😄. I use just a little. Also I let all chili simmer on a low bubble for at least an hour. It let's all of the seasoning come alive. Just my opinion, but I've found that chili's, soup's, stews and spaghetti sauce aways tastes better the next day after refrigerating and re-warming the next day!! Elana is so precious!!
@@catherinelw9365 lol its hard to find it in colorado! I asked for green chili on a burger once and they gave me BELL freaking PEPPER! Now when I'm in NM I freeze red and green and take it across state lines like a chili smuggler. 😂
I live in San Diego, CA and Frito pie is popular here although I usually see people eating on the go from a small Frito bag. Frito's are the preferred chips for this dish. I can see other chips like Doritos being used but they won't bring the Frito flavor.
Alabama here and I happen to like Beans on Toast Even better if you have some bacon with it Sausage and gravy for breakfast, Frith pie for lunch and Fried Chicken for Supper 😂 You guys should also try taco Salad, very similar to fritz pie but different 😂
Some people can be sticklers when it comes to recipes. But I say go ahead and try it with Worcestershire sauce, if you’d like Mrs. H. Experimenting with different flavors and different ways of cooking culturally, is how we ended up with a lot of the types of food we have. Let us know how it turns for you.
I agree wholeheartedly. I suggested beans with chili and someone had to criticize my choice of how to make it. Just make things the way you like them and don't worry about what others think.
@@momD612the oldest chili recipes don't have it. And as the Mexican whose friends give him crap for not liking beans I can say Mr. H isn't far off. Few of the recipes were made with beans because people liked them. They ate them out of necessity, their use just stretched out the meals and reduced the cost in hard times. You hit a financial depression and suddenly you need to stretch out meals with cheaper ingredients that fulfill nutritional needs so gone are diced cubes of quality meat in your chili con carne and suddenly minced (ground ) beef moves in. It doesn't end and you add beans and reduce the amount of mince and that cheap meal spreads regionally and then nationally and suddenly the traditional chili is considered the inferior. Beans are just filler, but as long as the chili is good I can go with or without. Again I don't like them but a good chili makes me forgive them. Likewise bad chili isn't improved by their presence or lack thereof. The spices are huge to make or break a chili the beans are just, meh.
@7:20 as a kid in the 80s in Los Angeles we ate small $0.25 bags of Fritos and a scoop of chili with a lil shredded cheese for $0.50... we called them chili bellies...
I lived in Scotland as a kid and ate Beans on Toast while I was there, it wasn't bad. I think America's (Baked Beans) are very sweet and it doesn't work as well. For a good Beans on Toast in America, you have to go to the international food isle in your grocery store and get the English Heintz Baked Beans. They have more of a tomato base and aren't as sweet as American's brown sugar based Baked beans.
In America, we have many kinds of beans, and the best are Mexican, like borracho beans, which are savory, spicy and delicious with hot, fresh tortillas! 😋
Native Texan here and I remember eating Frito Pie in the snack size bags at baseball games. We sometimes eat chilli with cornbread, my favorite is jalapeño & cheese cornbread with my chilli. Other combinations with chilli are: chilli cheese dogs, chilli mac&cheese, chilli cheese fries. You may like using sweet potato fries with chilli, bacon and cheese. It's all soo good!
For a store bought package for chili that is a real good one! Good on ya for that choice. Love the Fusa purring action shot - lol! "Well, maybe a bit of both "- lmao!!
Someone in the Midwest corrupted the name of the Frito Pie to walking taco. Frito Pie was created and first served here in Texas as part of a Highschool Booster Club fundraiser. They were first sold at HS football games and are still a beloved Texan Friday night tradition. At that time there were not individual single size bags of Fritos yet so they were served in a small paper French fry container. My Mon remembers them when she was in school and I'm 50 so they've been around for a long time.
At sporting events, they are often sold in the bag with the Fritos on the bottom topped with the chili sauce and cheese. Doritos are used in a similar recipe called "Walking Tacos" whose recipe can be Googled.
This 4th generation native Texan (72 years old) ate a ton of the chili frito pies in a bag at Friday night football games. It was the main item sold at the little snack bar under the bleachers. The fritos were sold in the small individual-sized bags, then the Wolf brand chili was poured on top (inside the opened bag), with topings of shredded cheddar cheese, with options of chopped onion and/or sour cream. This was eaten with a plastic spoon. You would purchase the chili frito pie and carry it back up into the bleachers to eat out of the bag while watching the football game. And yes, Wolf chili isn't as good as it used to be due to them selling out to Conagra Brands in Ft. Worth some time ago. It's not the same, but I still prefer it to other brands.
Im not being a jerk but the image looks like a walking taco. I thought Frito pie was like in a casserole dish? Again really really not trying to be a jerk just minor confusion😂. Looks like the walking tacos we used to sell at the wrestling tournament. And yes that we would have to wrestle at a city tournament and once we were done if we were the homeschool WE wrestlers would take over the concession stand😂😂. Why in the world would somebody want a sweaty boy serving a month a walking taco? LOL peace love guys seriously not being a jerk I'm just confused and maybe I should reserve my confusion for later but I don't think I'll remember😂😂
Folks who aren't from Texas or New Mexico call Frito Pie walking tacos. But there is a long history of the dish as a school fundraiser going back to the 1950s. At the time there were no single serve size bags of Fritos so they were served in what we would now call medium sized paper bowls or trays. It seems that the folks that call them Walking Tacos are from the Midwest, California, and oddly enough Oklahoma. They've been around here in Texas since the 1950s and although some folks from New Mexico will say they invented Frito Pie it was actually invented here. I've seen the recipe in one of my mom's Junior League Of San Antonio cookbooks from 1961.
@christianoliver3572 There's a southern fast food chain called Cookout, that sells walkin tacos, and it's different from a frito pie. I don't know about all walkin tacos but the ones they sell are basically taco meat, lettuce, sour cream, and cheese in a bag of doritos.
@@kazeryu17 Interesting as I've never seen them in a bag if Doritos. Sounds like the same ingredients as a FP though with the difference being the chips. Down here in south Texas they like to make them with Takis as well.
I'm from Texas and enjoyed your video. I have put chili over rice many times, so we do have that here. I also sometimes make a version of Frito pie with tortilla chips instead of Fritos. As you said in your video there are various ways to make Frito Pie, and I think the the best way can vary depending on what the people eating it prefer. The way my family makes the pie is to put the chips (whether they are Fritos or another kind) in each bowl then put cheese over the chips (which I think you call crisps in the British Isles) then add the chili and those who want it top it off with sour cream and/or freshly made guacamole.
I’m in New Mexico and jalapeños and/or hatch chilis are a must topping. I also prefer pouring the chili directly onto the Fritos, either in a bowl or directly into the bag. When you bake the toppings on top of the Fritos they get soggy.

I used to live in Odessa a few decades ago. They had chili back then that would burn a tumbleweed if you spilled some on it.
Need those Fritos Scoops on the base, that way it's like eating nachos... just grab a chip from the bottom and scoop up some chili... and you're golden. No spoons needed.
Central Texas native here... Yep you nailed it! Ultimate Texan comfort food. Loved those freezing cold friday night football games... frito pie in a split-open bag of fritos from the concession stand ,with chili spooned in, some onions & cheese to top it off. Life don't get no better!
@@glassontherocks….do you remember what kinda chili was used? West Texas (to me) has some of the best Mexican food also
I grew up in Texas, and there were Fritos Pies at the concession stand of every high school football game I ever attended.
Absolutely correct . RGV Texas .
And at every basketball and baseball game, too, in my experience anyway. Houston, TX here.
Native Texan and Make this chili all the time. Never put bell pepper in it before. Might consider using a can of diced green chilis and diced tomatoes. Also any time a recipe calls for water if you can substitute beef, chicken or vegetable broth it really adds a deeper flavor. Looks awesome.
There was a time when Frito Pie was a concession stand food at ball games or carnivals/fairs(like buying hot dogs or chili dogs) but it quickly became a household snack. The main ingredient to Frito Pie is Fritos and Chili. Anything extra, even the cheese, is optional and to your taste. It just seems natural to add cheese.
Yes! Even at the Bingo hall, but especially local sports events for the schools or little league baseball games.
I just had one at my towns Night Out Against Crime. I don't know what it is but it just tastes better when you with good company,listening to good music,and watching your kids smile from ear to ear.
I live in the south and we don't typically do Chili over rice. I usually have it with cornbread or as is.
Agree! I’m from Colorado and why would anyone put chili over rice???
Rice is for Red beans.
Rice is a filler and makes a rounded out meal.
@@katyas-mom - I suspect it’s a European thing.
elbow macaroni is an acceptable pairing with chili, too.
@@TheRedStateBluea box of craft
I love having this at football games! As a native Texan, this is something that I love to eat! Generally, I put the Fritos in the bowl, add the chili on top, then onions and cheddar cheese. I don't like sour cream, so I don't use it.
My mom is from Texas and she made us Frito pie often. I still make it today. A store in Kansas used to use take snack size Fritos and pour in a spoon of chili and sell it to kids for 5 cents..... obviously a long time ago!
I was in the army and a favorite they used to make in the chow hall is ‘chili Mac’ which is chili with macaroni and some cheese sprinkled on top 😃
Now that sounds good
Macaroni is elbow shaped pasta.
We called it Shipwreck.
And a fashionable London club around the time of the American Revolution, hence ‘…stuck a feather in his cap, and called it Macaroni”!
Twice a week in our chow hall...probably cost the DoD pennies to make
You're using your cast iron skillet!!! Millions of Southern women, their mothers and grandmothers are smiling about that!! 😊
Nice thing about a lot of our foods is you can tweak them to suit your taste. Just dont mess with our gravy and biscuits 😉
Chili goes with everything, as far as Im concerned! I used to beg for Cowboy Spaghetti (chili used in place of spaghetti sauce) for breakfast as a kid.
We wouldn't mess with biscuits and gravy as they are already perfect.
Cast iron as the all purpose cookware for the WIN! I use my 16" cast iron skillet for virtually *everything* that doesn't go on the grill or smoker...breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My girlfriend is from Rhode Island (albeit from somewhat distant Georgia roots...she loves my collards), but she's terrified of using my cast iron skillet or Dutch oven, lol.
I love your cooking videos! It’s not always perfect. You don’t always know what you’re doing, but you have fun. It also usually tastes amazing regardless. We really need to promote that this is what cooking really is: having fun, sometimes making a few mistakes and making improvements next time. Most people don’t cook like celebrity chefs
wisconsin
Amen!
I grew up with this also - chili poured into a small bag of fritos - it was always called a "frito boat" 😊
I'm from Texas and we do the same and add cheese,diced onions and sour cream(optional). We use Chili Cheese Fritos and I've had them in Doritos(not the same).We call them "walking Frito Pies".
And yeah walking tacos are different, it’s a bag of Doritos with nacho cheese, lettuce, tomato and sour cream. It’s a Mexican street food.
As a third generation Texan, I have always had my frito pie with a bowl of fritos first, then pile on the chili (and yes, any kind of chili you prefer) then add cheese and let it melt down properly. Lastly, add anything you like. Such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, etcetera
This 4th generation Texan agrees and approves.
Wick Fowler (the brand of chili fixings) won the first chili cookoff in Terlingua, Texas. We put the fritos in a bowl and chili and fixings on top. At fairs and rodeos, it is served in single serving size Frito bags, the cut the side off of the bag and put in the chili and fixings.
Texas & I have eaten frito pie since I was a child 60+ years ago. It's one of my favorites.
Same!
The next time you make chili, use fritos scoops to eat it with... no need for a spoon 😂
I was looking for this comment, the scoop fritos are PERFECT for chili
I think the Wick Fowler chili (the mix you used) is a little heavy, but it is probably better for you because it is whole food and not a lot of ingredients that you can't pronounce. Maybe less chili powder? I like Chili-O mix, but it does have all the added ingredients.
Gotta be Fritos, but Scoops rather than original. But the most important part is the chili.
100% agree. The big Fritos are perfect for it and it'll save on dishwasher space without the need for utensils haha.
They only had Fritos because someone from the U.S. sent Fritos to them. If you want them to use Frito Scoops, then you or someone else from the U.S. will have to send the Frito Scoops to them.
@@luminiferous1960 or.... now hear me out... they can order them themselves.
Arkansas girl here😊 Y'all did a great job!
Good call on making your own chili. All canned chili tastes like dog food to me. 😋
I only canned chili I like is Campbels Chunky Hot Chili!! I jazz it up with some salsa but homemade chili is the best!!!
@@Vetriot6971 , I think it tastes like dog food smells.
Kinda true, but for me a Frito chili pie is quick and dirty no dishes kinda lunch...so canned will do lol
Mixing that all together will make the Fritos get soggy. Put Fritos in a bowl and spoon the chili over them, put cheese and diced onions on top and eat right away. From a 71 year old Texan that has eaten chili pie all if my life.
Red beans & Rice is another popular southern dish,
especially in Mississippi delta with various spices and seafood/meats.
I'll mix chili, beans, and rice together for a quick meal.
We're here for the sincerity, enthusiasm, and family friendly banter. As always, well done Mr. & Mrs. H!
How I've always layered it is the chips go in the bowl first. Then you put the chili over the chips. Add shredded cheese, diced onions, and sour cream on top. Chives on top are an option as well. Its a great meal.
Wouldn't that make the frito's soggy? That was always why I threw them on top to keep the crispness.
@@PatrickDaviswimiwamwamwazzle I don't let it sit long brother, lol. The cheese and sour cream really cool it off, as do the fritos. Personally, I mix it up all up so there's a bit of everything in each bite.
Texans have always called it Frito Pie, and it was served in single serve bags of Fritos at pools in the summer and football games in the winter. Other states have started calling it walking taco and adding all kinds of things that didn’t used to be in there. Lots of hometown fast food places serve it as regular part of their menu.
In my house I was known as the Frito Bandito because every time we had them in the house I would grab the bag and eat all of them
I hadn't seen the Frito Bandito in over 50 Years
I love walking tacos! We get a bunch of mini bags of nacho doritos, whip up a big batch of taco seasoned meat, bowls of sides/toppings and then everyone grabs a bag and puts in whatever they want.
We do this with Frito pies too. Chili cheese Fritos or regular Fritos.
Shouts to, born in Indiana, raised in Florida, seasoned in Oregon, residing in Tennessee! ❤😂
Beans on toast in the south would be white beans on cornbread - delicious! 😊
Exactly, we also do a pot of beans and homemade cornbread in a skillet. that's a whole meal right there!
@@delinarandoma1053Absolutely! A bowl of pinto beans and jalapeno and bacon cornbread. Heaven.
This was a tradition at football games, especially in the colder nights. The concession stand would use individual size of fritos and slice them lengthwise (so that more of the good stuff got to the bottom) and pour the chili into the bag. Then you could add a variety of toppings. It was always a favorite. Now for Doritios, you should look at chicken dorito pie.
Yup!
I'm in Texas. I literally had this last night with Wolf Brand Chili. We need to send you some but nothing beats homemade chili.
Oh Also if you added rice, lettuce, tomato, and salsa on top you got a Fiesta Salad or Taco Salad. haha.
I want that too
Cowboy Kent and Shan are Gods children they are. Ive watched Kent for years. Back in 2019 when my wife passed he actually called me to give his condolences. That man is such a good person and his wife is a kind heart. They are people of the Earth so to speak and Im proud to be part of their viewership and fans. Good folk indeed. And his food is YUM YUM every time. The man knows his iron skillet too :) Cant say enough good things about them folk.
Id add more sour cream cause I LOVE sour cream. BTW Carroll Shelby has a great chili mix i na paper bag here in the US . Not sure you have access to it there.
Try a walking taco. Small hand sized bag of doritos crushed and opened, then shove in some chili ( I like mine thin and a bit runny. Helps absorb into the Doritos) , lettuce, onion, tomato, and sour cream and eat from the bag. Yummy.
Watching from Baton Rouge, Louisiana:) and thoroughly enjoying this. I love Frito Pie.
First time I had it was at a little league baseball game from a concession stand and they served it right out of a mini Frito bag. Open bag and add chili, cheese and onion. This was in the 70's and I still eat it today.
Wonderful discovery! I've been eating these since back in the '60s, and still do once or twice a month. Chili addict, I confess. To answer you question, yes, I do put chili over rice. However, I make a taco rice that has a can of chili beans in it, then a layer of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, a can of beef tamales, then the chili, and a final layer of cheese. Drizzle salsa or picante sauce on top and several dollops of sour cream. Eat until it comes out your ears every time you try to swallow -- that's how you know when to stop eating -- then go take a nap.
If I went and took a nap after eating that the heartburn and reflux would probably kill me!!🤣
@@brendafrazier811 Perhaps, but it would be a good death. ;) In case you ever try it, know that a big glass of Ovaltine is the antidote of choice. It's kept me alive all these years.
Alabama here. We usually serve Fritos as a topper for chili or as the chip for tacos instead of a traditional taco shell. If serving with chili, we make our family chili recipe then top the bowl with whatever options each person chooses to make an individual chili Frito pie. Options are often Fritos, saltines, buttered bread or buttered saltines, onions, sour cream, cheese, tomatoes, and jalapeños. A taco bar is the same only there’s usually taco meat, beans, Fritos, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and anything else like that. We’re just a “do it your own way” kind of family. Your recipe looked delicious!
At the end, add cold shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. Yummy!
Tennessee here, we put black beans in our chili. Also, you can top it with cheddar cheese, sour cream, onion, or whatever you like.
I'm in Texas and I use that chili kit when I'm being lazy. 😀 I use coarse ground beef with it so the chunks are larger. I love Fritos and could sit and eat them by themselves. My wife and daughters were big into Girl Scouts and walking tacos was a regular thing when they went camping. I grew up eating Wolf brand chili but it isn't as good as it used to be. Today, I buy a can when we have tamales and I like it as a sauce to pour over them.
We put the cheese on the hot chili to get it melty, put it in bowls and then just add fritos, sour cream, onions and jalapeños to the individual bowels to keep fritos crispy.
Yes, I love Frito pies! I'm from Missouri and I cover a plate with Fritos, spoon on some canned chili, usually Wolf's brand with beans, top with cheese, and throw it in the microwave for about a minute and a half! YUMMY!
At high school football games in Texas on Friday night, nearly every home stadium has a food booth, and this is #1 because it's so simple. They slit open the side of a small bag of fritos, add one scoop chili, add a handful of cheese, then you can add onions, sour cream, jalapenos, etc from the condiment table. These are really good in late October when the air is nippy and you can just see your breath...
Yes sir it’s 106 today an I can’t wait till the first cold spell to make a big pot of chili
Same here - this summer has been brutal. Waiting for cooler weather and contact sports!
Now you have me wanting Frito pie lol
I'm a southerner from Florida! I love Frito pie. I like to to add to my portion some shredded cheddar cheese and a huge dollop of sour cream. Bon appetit!
Glad y'all enjoy our American food. We love y'all, too!
Best Frito pie I had in Texas didn't use chili, but instead had a layer of chopped brisket in BBQ sauce. So good!
😋😋😋
Say what?! Definitely having this if we go to Texas one day.
@@Mrhandfriends Smoke a brisket on your new smoker, chop it up and add some BBQ sauce, then put it on some Fritos and Bob's your uncle, you've got BBQ Frito pie! Also great as a sandwich filling much like the pulled pork slider Baby H liked so much at Spitfire!
IIRC, it was Coulter's BBQ that did the BBQ Frito pie. Coulter's also had free ice cream and 32 oz drinks. My best friend Ray and I used to always end our meals there with a 32 oz root beer float 'to go'. 😋😋😋
You’re having fun with this. It comes off in the video. It makes it fun for US! Cheers!
Glad you enjoy it! We did enjoy making it, and eating it
Two alarm brand has been around for years. One of the best season mix for chili. Thumbs up from Texas!
Texan here. I have never eaten chili with rice. Or pasta. My favorite is chili cornbread casserole. Make chili (i have never liked canned) and mix up a box of jiffy cornmuffin mix which is a sweet cornbread just like instructios say for cornbread. Then put chili in bottom of a baking dish. Pour cornbread batter on top. Bake until cornbread is done. It is amazing!
It’s always hilarious to hear someone from England say they can’t get spices… you dominated the spice trade. You *can* get any spice some just cost more in transit than others. But you literally have access to the *entire* spice trade.
Last time I went to Florida, I couldn’t find any oranges. They grow them and ship them out for cash. Maybe the UK is the same with spices. They sell them to other people but don’t keep any for themselves because they rather have the money.
I admire the two of you for cooking things that you have never thought of before. you are a delightful couple
Loved the panicked look on Mr H's face when Mrs H suggested not needing to make chicken.... 😂
I have never heard of Frito pie. I like chili soup.
Grandma Sue in central Indiana
Love yall in the kitchen cooking up and trying new things! Great show! xo
Frito pie is amazing
1st time I ever had it was at church after youth group for supper
its been a while since ive had some frito pie. i went to highschool in texas, every friday for lunch was frito pie. it was delicious even though it was a school lunch
My grandma always made this for us when we went camping, I loved topping it with red onion, sour cream, cheese, and mustard. We always used Dennisons chunky chili and we crushed the Fritos at the bottom of the bowl and topped with chili. Such a good and warming dish
So easy so nice
Hello from Washington State. Never heard of frito pie but I do love chili. Yum 😋
Throw some Fritos in the bowl and top them with chili, shredded cheese, and chopped onions if you like them. You'll never have chili any other way afterwards.
I always add diced onions, green chilies and jalapeños. So good!
NE here and it don't matter if you like it or not, its something new! But I bet you love it!
Frito pie is what I am making for tomorrow night. I use the Wolf brand with beans, but I add sour cream on the top. It helps cur the acid if you have digestive issues. lol I can't do spicey.
Wolf is the only way for me as well. I go no beans, just Fritos, Wolf and cheddar. I pay for it afterwards lmao
@shalakabooyaka1480 lol that's the reason for the sour cream. It taste good too.
@@claranielsen3382 I bet it does, If I remember the next time I'm shopping I'll try it. I love sour cream on tacos and the like.
Idk if its still available, but did anyone ever try the Wolf brand deer chili? It actually was pretty good. I haven't even looked for it in years. I will next time at the grocery store though.
The way I was introduced to this dish was in the lunch window at the Woolworth's in Santa Fe NM. You'd get a small bag of Frito's that would be cut open across the front. A scoop of chili was dumped into the chips, add a squirt of crema and ala carte onions. Grab a plastic spoon and away you go.
I used that chili kit 40 years ago. It's a great kit and showed me the way to my own recipe. So you chose well.
the *_RIGHT_* way to do it is the way that makes you happiest.
Omg yum I love these! 😋 y'all should try Canadian food, they too are scrumdilly! 💙🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧
Here on the East Coast in New Jersey YES we have Rice with Chili
I eat chili with rice all the time. I love it 😊
Like Frito Pie, I make Hay Stacks... Instead of a skillet meal I make it like a salad... Later by layer... Frito Scoops, chili, peppers and onions, lettuce, shredded cheese and top with sour cream...eat like a Taco Salad... Delicious
Frito pie yammy your in for a treat. Can't wait to hear how y'all like it.
Texan here. I make chili and frito pie a lot in the fall and winter, usually for football game watching. (go Dallas Cowboys and Baylor Bears!) you can definitely switch up your chili to make it more how you like it. As I watched, I wanted to add beer instead of water, jalapeños instead of bell peppers, and yes, a few shakes of Worcestershire sauce for depth of flavor. (Anyone wanting tips for your chili just google as many Terlingua winning recipes as possible and see what looks good to you.) I personally have never heard of bell peppers in chili, but you do you! Also, the building of the pie is important. We do it individually in bowls so the Fritos don’t get soggy. Chili on bottom, then Fritos, cheddar, sour cream, and chopped green onions. One of my absolute fsvorites!! We have been to many chili cook offs, in homes and big ones in an outdoor setting. There are bowls of Fritos and cheese around to add and sometimes bowls of Tums. Haha. Also yes, stadium or concession frito pies are small bags of Fritos cut open, with a scoop of chili, and a handful of shredded cheese, with a plastic fork sticking out if it.
Things I’ve discovered I like in my chili, brown beer, brown sugar, Worcestershire, and all the mains like onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, jalapeño, tomato sauce, ground beef.
I'm in California and I haven't had Frito pie, but it looks great. I'll have to try it. I do eat beans on toast and it's good 👍
I’m from California too and we ate frito boats, where you cut a slit in the side of the small bag of Fritos and added chili and cheese.
Growing up when my mom would make this, she'd smash the Frito's up to use as a "pie crust" then layer the other ingredients on top, neither is wrong just gives a different texture when you eat it.
You guys are doing amazing with what you have. I honestly love watching you guys doing it since it is refreshing. No need for pro level.
I'm from Alabama, and yes we grew up with Frito pie !
Often I'll throw down a layer of fritos, cover it with canned chilie, and heat it up in the oven, melting the cheese at the end. It gives a nice mixture of textures depending on how much moisture the fritos have absorbed. Glad to see y'all enjoying something I've been eating since childhood.
Great thing about Frito pie is that it’s delicious even with regular ol’ canned chili (i prefer Hormel, with beans), don’t even have to be homemade. Just don’t be stingy with the cheese! I like to add generous blasts of Louisiana hot sauces for the kick.👍
I've used that 2 alarm chili kit for years. 😊 I really like it. You can control Worcestershire sauce in the ground beef while I'm browning it. I also add McCormick Montreal Steak seasoning to the beef before adding the tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes and the seasoning packets. I add 2 cans of kidney beans and 2 cans of chili beans and beef broth. Serve with sour cream, cheese, green onions, and salsa on top.
Cowboy Ken was using the Fritos Scoops which are about twice the size of regular Fritos. I'm wondering if the people using Doritos are going for a more taco salad. Great job!
Great job guys!! It's funny because I use the same chili mix and I saw Mr. H grab the cayenne pepper package and thought OH No!! because I know how hot it is 😄😄. I use just a little. Also I let all chili simmer on a low bubble for at least an hour. It let's all of the seasoning come alive. Just my opinion, but I've found that chili's, soup's, stews and spaghetti sauce aways tastes better the next day after refrigerating and re-warming the next day!! Elana is so precious!!
I agree. I like a lot of pasta dishes the next day too
We gotta get you a good chili recipe. It’s imperative.
Also my Father loved making “Red Topped Stew” which is to put chili on top of beef stew. And he was a Texan and grew up eating it.
I never made Frito Pie from canned chili, I always made it from scratch. This is a very popular dish here in New Mexico. I hope you like it.
From my experience New Mexico has the best versions of Mexican food in the US. ❤️ Great food!

New Englander. I never heard of Frito pie. But it makes sense. Tortilla chips go good with chili.

I’m from Texas! I love Frito pie!
I live in San Diego, CA and Frito pie is popular here although I usually see people eating on the go from a small Frito bag. Frito's are the preferred chips for this dish. I can see other chips like Doritos being used but they won't bring the Frito flavor.
As an American from North Carolina, I simply love you two. Keep up the great videos!
Alabama here and I happen to like Beans on Toast
Even better if you have some bacon with it
Sausage and gravy for breakfast, Frith pie for lunch and Fried Chicken for Supper 😂
You guys should also try taco Salad, very similar to fritz pie but different 😂
Houston here, you can't have an outdoor event, game or gathering without Frito Pie!!
Yes, the whole bag of cheese. Plus two more bags of cheese.
omg yes! Texas Friday Night high school with a Frito pie in the bag. well done, Mr and Mrs H
Some people can be sticklers when it comes to recipes. But I say go ahead and try it with Worcestershire sauce, if you’d like Mrs. H. Experimenting with different flavors and different ways of cooking culturally, is how we ended up with a lot of the types of food we have. Let us know how it turns for you.
Yeah, a proper dash of Worcestershire in the meat while rendering would do nicely.
I agree wholeheartedly. I suggested beans with chili and someone had to criticize my choice of how to make it. Just make things the way you like them and don't worry about what others think.
@@pgriffeyI personally believe that chili without beans only belongs on hot dogs. 😉
@@momD612 AMEN!
@@momD612the oldest chili recipes don't have it. And as the Mexican whose friends give him crap for not liking beans I can say Mr. H isn't far off. Few of the recipes were made with beans because people liked them. They ate them out of necessity, their use just stretched out the meals and reduced the cost in hard times.
You hit a financial depression and suddenly you need to stretch out meals with cheaper ingredients that fulfill nutritional needs so gone are diced cubes of quality meat in your chili con carne and suddenly minced (ground ) beef moves in. It doesn't end and you add beans and reduce the amount of mince and that cheap meal spreads regionally and then nationally and suddenly the traditional chili is considered the inferior.
Beans are just filler, but as long as the chili is good I can go with or without. Again I don't like them but a good chili makes me forgive them. Likewise bad chili isn't improved by their presence or lack thereof. The spices are huge to make or break a chili the beans are just, meh.
I learned how to make chili in 1985 using that same chili kit. Very good kit. Enjoy.
No Wolf Brand Chili? How do you not starve to death?
We have to make things from scratch to just get a slither of a taste of what you have at your fingertips.
@7:20 as a kid in the 80s in Los Angeles we ate small $0.25 bags of Fritos and a scoop of chili with a lil shredded cheese for $0.50... we called them chili bellies...
I lived in Scotland as a kid and ate Beans on Toast while I was there, it wasn't bad. I think America's (Baked Beans) are very sweet and it doesn't work as well. For a good Beans on Toast in America, you have to go to the international food isle in your grocery store and get the English Heintz Baked Beans. They have more of a tomato base and aren't as sweet as American's brown sugar based Baked beans.
We have baked beans and also pork & beans. Those aren't sweet!!
In America, we have many kinds of beans, and the best are Mexican, like borracho beans, which are savory, spicy and delicious with hot, fresh tortillas! 😋
I use Bush's baked beans works great for me.
And if you're down to eating beans on toast... We're all pulling for you and hope things get better.
I add BBQ sauce to pork & beans. I do not like sweet BBQ sauce.
Native Texan here and I remember eating Frito Pie in the snack size bags at baseball games. We sometimes eat chilli with cornbread, my favorite is jalapeño & cheese cornbread with my chilli. Other combinations with chilli are: chilli cheese dogs, chilli mac&cheese, chilli cheese fries. You may like using sweet potato fries with chilli, bacon and cheese. It's all soo good!
I love Frito Pie, although it works best with canned chili.
For a store bought package for chili that is a real good one! Good on ya for that choice. Love the Fusa purring action shot - lol!
"Well, maybe a bit of both "- lmao!!
Looks like a walking taco. Is that the same as a Frito pie?
Someone in the Midwest corrupted the name of the Frito Pie to walking taco.
Frito Pie was created and first served here in Texas as part of a Highschool Booster Club fundraiser.
They were first sold at HS football games and are still a beloved Texan Friday night tradition.
At that time there were not individual single size bags of Fritos yet so they were served in a small paper French fry container.
My Mon remembers them when she was in school and I'm 50 so they've been around for a long time.
At sporting events, they are often sold in the bag with the Fritos on the bottom topped with the chili sauce and cheese.
Doritos are used in a similar recipe called "Walking Tacos" whose recipe can be Googled.
Question. Do you eat this with a spoon or fork still or do you just dive in with your hands?
This 4th generation native Texan (72 years old) ate a ton of the chili frito pies in a bag at Friday night football games. It was the main item sold at the little snack bar under the bleachers. The fritos were sold in the small individual-sized bags, then the Wolf brand chili was poured on top (inside the opened bag), with topings of shredded cheddar cheese, with options of chopped onion and/or sour cream. This was eaten with a plastic spoon. You would purchase the chili frito pie and carry it back up into the bleachers to eat out of the bag while watching the football game. And yes, Wolf chili isn't as good as it used to be due to them selling out to Conagra Brands in Ft. Worth some time ago. It's not the same, but I still prefer it to other brands.
@@Mrhandfriends Don't use your hands!
Im not being a jerk but the image looks like a walking taco. I thought Frito pie was like in a casserole dish? Again really really not trying to be a jerk just minor confusion😂. Looks like the walking tacos we used to sell at the wrestling tournament. And yes that we would have to wrestle at a city tournament and once we were done if we were the homeschool WE wrestlers would take over the concession stand😂😂. Why in the world would somebody want a sweaty boy serving a month a walking taco? LOL peace love guys seriously not being a jerk I'm just confused and maybe I should reserve my confusion for later but I don't think I'll remember😂😂
Folks who aren't from Texas or New Mexico call Frito Pie walking tacos.
But there is a long history of the dish as a school fundraiser going back to the 1950s.
At the time there were no single serve size bags of Fritos so they were served in what we would now call medium sized paper bowls or trays.
It seems that the folks that call them Walking Tacos are from the Midwest, California, and oddly enough Oklahoma.
They've been around here in Texas since the 1950s and although some folks from New Mexico will say they invented Frito Pie it was actually invented here.
I've seen the recipe in one of my mom's Junior League Of San Antonio cookbooks from 1961.
@christianoliver3572 There's a southern fast food chain called Cookout, that sells walkin tacos, and it's different from a frito pie. I don't know about all walkin tacos but the ones they sell are basically taco meat, lettuce, sour cream, and cheese in a bag of doritos.
@@kazeryu17 Interesting as I've never seen them in a bag if Doritos.
Sounds like the same ingredients as a FP though with the difference being the chips.
Down here in south Texas they like to make them with Takis as well.
Yes Mr. H , I love a good Columbo “ just one more thing…” ❤
I'm from Texas and enjoyed your video. I have put chili over rice many times, so we do have that here. I also sometimes make a version of Frito pie with tortilla chips instead of Fritos. As you said in your video there are various ways to make Frito Pie, and I think the the best way can vary depending on what the people eating it prefer. The way my family makes the pie is to put the chips (whether they are Fritos or another kind) in each bowl then put cheese over the chips (which I think you call crisps in the British Isles) then add the chili and those who want it top it off with sour cream and/or freshly made guacamole.
I’m in New Mexico and jalapeños and/or hatch chilis are a must topping. I also prefer pouring the chili directly onto the Fritos, either in a bowl or directly into the bag. When you bake the toppings on top of the Fritos they get soggy.
