  1. From New Mexico. A true NM frito pie is red chile pods (no pepper or oregano!!!!!! Yuck.) made with diced pork ( ground beef is last resort) and pinto beans. Topped with cheese and garnish of choice. If you put sour cream or avacado you ruined it. Tex mex/cali mex added all that nonsense. Maybe Tex invented the idea….. Their execution was poor, typical. Anyways fritos are a staple in NM pantries and until you have eaten one here. You are oblivious.

  2. She makes a good point about seasonings in our cupboards for years. I watched a video by a chef who said if you can no longer smell it, it's probably lost its flavor too

  3. Yet another person, Butchering the whole idea of what it is,There is a source for this meal,Its based from a prison meal,Enough of of the butchering, Yes,Was invented many years ago,But it just didn't take off in US until convicts got out&kept sharing it,

  4. Ugh love your video!!! I been researching for a decent recipe forever!!! Thank you for this!!! This ** also made my day!!! 😭😄😃👏👏👏

  5. I have had Frito Pie (the way it has always been made in Texas) and when I grew up in Colorado, I would do green chili (pork chili verde) and pour a ladle worth on some Fritos 🙌 😋 👍 😎 and add some shredded cheese plus a couple of flour tortillas for good measure.

  6. A trick of my grandma's: (whom I never met, but love the lore) used to throw butter, onions ,whatever herbs were in the garden into a hot pan when she didn't have dinner started by the time my grandpa got home and it always smelled so good he never knew the difference lol

  7. First time viewer, just caught this looking for an out of the ordinary recipe for frito pie.
    You were so great with the way you kept engaging as if we were there.
    You really need your own channel!
    I am serious as diahrea with a 100 yard walk to the porta potty.

  8. Actually you could buy a bag, large or medium, of Frito's at the grocery store in the 1950's and the recipe was included on the back side of the bag.. Mom did indeed use the recipe and baked it in the oven with Frito's on the top with the cheese, which is why I don't see any recipe using the old method. I guess some sixty years have changed the way of cooking Frito pie.

  9. I learned how to make Frito pie when I took Home economics in junior high (7th grade, 1977) but when I learned how to make it we used Hormel chili (because of time restraints of the class) but when I made it for my mom I’d found a homemade chili recipe and used that but when I make it now I put mine in a casserole dish, my mom fell in love with it, it became a go to dish for my large family! I’ve been making it ever since and my daughters love it and they make it for their families!! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

  10. Damn. Farideh looking slim these days. I guess she's been social distancing herself from the fridge.Hahaha. Make sure to eat all your Frito pie, Farideh. We need to plump you back up.

  11. In middle school once a week they'd sell something like this. It was a bag of Fritos + taco meat + nacho cheese (the nuclear orange plastic kind which is delicious) + a dollop of sour cream. I think they were called Traveling Tacos and cost like $1.75
