Frito Pie
"There are a few things I miss about living in New Mexico and close to the top of the list is frito pie. Now I make it at home and it's one of my favorite guilty pleasures - crunchy fritos topped with homemade chili, chedder cheese, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream. I whipped up a simple chili for this recipe, but feel free to substitute your favorite chili - the rest is very easy!..."
