Frito Pie
When you grow up in Texas, you pretty much grow up with Frito Pie. I mentioned to my Northern friends that Frito Pie was a go-to comfort food for me and they had never heard of layering Fritos, chili and cheese into a casserole or pie. This recipe won't go into the light and healthy category - but I did use reduced fat cheese and leftover Spicy Black Bean Chili. you can use canned chili and regular cheese - just be prepared for the little extra next time you step on the scale. I love Frito Pie - but it is a comfort food that should be eaten in moderation.
