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.
