Frito Pie

This is another one of those great fall recipes that I thought was pretty common... well, at least until I got a funny look when I mentioned it to a friend in Phoenix ;) This dish was so common, that our high school concession stand used to sell it to raise money for the band-- they called their version "Banditos" and used nacho cheese instead of shredded cheese. It's a really simple recipe that kids love

Ingredients:
Chili (click here for my chili recipe!)
Frito's (corn chips)
Shredded Cheese
Sour cream

Directions:
1. Put a handful of chips in the bottom of the bowl (the serving size of the brand I used was 31 chips, which was about a handful *I checked!*)
   2. Cover with a cup of chili.
   3. Top with shredded cheese and finish with sour cream.

Notes:
** I used an off brand of corn chips, 2% store brand Mexican blend shredded cheese, and store brand regular sour cream and chives.

** If watching calories and fat (especially saturated fat), substitute fat free cheese and sour cream. If watching salt intake find a better alternative to the usual salted corn chips-- they had more sodium than I expected.

Nutritional Information Per Serving:

Serving size = 1oz corn chips (about 31 chips according to the bag), 1/4c 2% shredded cheese, 2 tbsp sour cream with chives, and 1 cup of Chunky Chili
