On the way home it occured to me what I wanted: a Frito pie. We ducked into a store and bought a bag of Fritos and a can of chili. Back home I heated the chili, spread some chips out on a plate and topped it all with cheese. After a minute the cheese started to soften, melting slightly, and I added a couple dollops of sour cream.
It was the perfect dinner.

DUDE!!! You have been reading my mind because all week, i SWEAR, i have been CRAVING frito pie...DAMN i wish i was at that dinner! it honestly looks perfect. jealous!
That is the classiest looking Frito pie I've ever seen. Aren't you supposed to eat it straight from the bag??
PP- do you eat that with forks, spoons, your hands, or what?? and are the fritos just regular plain old fritos? cuz i love the chili cheese fritos but the original are the bomb too.
never had frito pie but i keep seeing it everywhere. i freakin love fritos. why not?!
Fritos: But the whole point of the dinner was to get away from people! If you had been there it would have... well, okay, maybe just you next time. But no one else.
Ben: "Supposed to"? I dunno. I think traditionally they are served in the bag, but I've always been rather iconoclastic. (Plus I got that $4.99 plate at Cost Plus specifically to make my dishes look classy. I wouldn't want that to go to waste.)
Anon: As tempted as I was to chow on it without the use of my hands, like a dog or a pie-eating contest, I used a fork. Indeed I did use the chili-flavored Fritos, as I like those more than the regular, although neither flavor lives up to the "Texas Grill" Fritos from my teenage years. Man I miss those tasty little morsels, resplendent with grill marks that made no sense.
Anna: If you love Fritos - and I know you like chili, from your Fatburger chili cheese fries comment - I don't see any reason why you won't love this.
I think I'm gonna start going to Carl's Jr again.
Now you have to post a review of the Taco Bell Beefy Crunch Burrito featuring Fritos! Unless I missed that update.
Doesn't look all that appealing but hey, take one for the team!
Check back on Tuesday, Jarrett!
