Recipe: At Home 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).

THE FRITO PIE REMAINS A wonderful, if anachronistic, thing.

It's a combination of American junk food and traditional Southwestern ingredients—corn, beans, and chile.

It's blue-collar, unpretentious, and a bit odd.

Both New Mexico and Texas claim to have invented Frito pie.

According to New Mexican lore, it was first created in Woolworth's, which now operates as the Santa Fe Five and Dime.

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, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream.
