How to Make Eating on a Dime Frito Pie, new mexican Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Frito Pie, new mexican. This Frito Pie was a completely different animal than what we enjoyed in Amarillo, which featured the brisket and a very light dressing of bbq sauce. This dish was all about the New Mexican Red Chile sauce that is not for the faint of heart. I ordered our Frito Pie which is served in a snack size Frito chip bag (completely loved that).

Shotgun Willie's, in Red River, serves a more Tex-Mex variety, with cumin, tomatoes, and beans in the chile.

Frito Pie is a staple at most festivals in NM.
