Frito Pie with Chili
Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.
Ingredients:
1 quart leftover chili
2 tablespoons diced raw onion (or to taste)
1 ounce grated cheddar cheese (or to taste)
1 jalapeño pepper, sliced or seeded and diced (optional, ripe – red – jalapeños are terrific)
a couple of good handfuls of corn chips (I always use Fritos)
Instructions:
Put chili in medium-sized saucepan over medium heat to rewarm it (if frozen, add a bit of water to the pot so you don’t scorch the bottom). Stir occasionally.
Meanwhile, dice the onion, grate the cheddar cheese, and (if using), slice or seed and dice your jalapeño. (Make sure to wash your hands after handling the jalapeño pepper — the oil can burn if you rub it into your eyes.)
Place a handful of corn chips in each serving dish (a good-sized soup bowl.)
Once the chili is hot, ladle it into each serving dish. Top chili with onion,jalapeño pepper, and grated cheddar cheese.
You may want to sprinkle a few more corn chips on top of the cheese if you want to be fancy. Serve and enjoy!
