Chili Frito Delight

Here is a little secret: I made up the name of this dish right now. That is why it isn't very good of a name.


I have thought about this meal a few times the past couple of weeks.  I had all the ingredients handy, just had to find the right day on the menu for it.  We all loved it so that must be a success.  It is a family sized version of chili Frito school lunch.  Wait what?!? You never got this for lunch at school? Well I did and I loved it then too.


Ingredients:

• 1 Can of your favorite chili
• 1 lb of hamburger
• 1 bag of your favorite size of Fritos corn chips
• Toppings: cheese, onions, olives, and sour cream.

Directions:

• Brown hamburger and drain.
• Add can of chili. The consistency should be fairly thick, not soupy.
• Put a handful of the corn chips at the bottom of a bowl, 
• Add chili/hamburger mixture.
• Top with your favorite toppings.
• Pair this with a green salad.
• Enjoy!

Total Prep Time was 15 minutes.

This would make 3-4 moderately sized servings.

For a healthier option use a low sodium/fat chili, ground turkey, baked tortilla chips, low fat cheese and sour cream.

Easy fried rice

Ingredients:
3 cups of cooked rice (leftovers work wonderfully)
4 slices of bacon, cut into small pieces
3 eggs, beaten
1 onion, chopped
Veggies (frozen or canned both work... carrots, peas, pretty much any kind- I just used a can of mixed veggies)
Cooking oil (you really could leave this out if you wanted to make it healthier)
Soy sauce or teriyaki sauce to taste

Directions:
In a wok or large frying pan, heat the oil. Add the bacon pieces and fry until almost crisp. Add the onion and cook until soft. Move the mixture to one side of the pan. Scramble the eggs in the other side of the pan. Mix the scrambled egg, bacon, and onion together. Add rice and veggies and stir until heated through and until it's as crisp as you like. Add soy sauce or teriyaki sauce until it tastes perfectly.
