As I've mentioned before I tend to obsess on a food or a recipe until I either make it or go out and get it. Lately it's been all about desserts and baking. This week my thoughts have gone from sweet to savory.
This week all I can think about is Frito Pie! Now for those of you who aren't from the Southwest you may be wondering what the hell is Frito pie. Well I am going to tell you.
Frito Pie- is a bowl of Frito corn chips with Texas or New Mexico Red chili with meat poured over them. Top off with Cheddar cheese and onion and you've got Frito Pie!
I think the universe really wants me to make this for dinner because. My mom's office is having a Frito Pie party. My friend Sonya who teaches in Santa Fe was having it for lunch today. And Kirsten and I were both talking about how much we enjoy and miss Frito Pie.
This is an excellent cold day meal! Seeing that it's 80 degrees here today I don't need the Frito Pie to warm me up. It will make me feel cozy and all the same.
I may or may not make it for dinner tonight, but since my mind wont let it drop until I do make it. It will most likely be on the menu this weekend.
