List of Ingredients
Frito Pie from David
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups chopped yellow onions
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
2 lbs. beef bottom round, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
1/2 cup tomato paste
One 28 ounce can whole tomatoes and their liquid
2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup dried red beans, rinsed and cooked in salted water until tender
Eight 1 1/4 ounce bags Frito corn chips
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup pickled jalapeno slices, drained
Recipe
In a large heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, season with 1 teaspoon of the salt and cayenne, and cook stirring until they are wilted and golden - about 4 minutes.
Season the beef with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and add to the pot. Cook, stirring, until the beef is browned evenly on all sides, about 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, beef broth, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, red pepper flakes, and beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally until the beef is tender, about 2 hours.
Skim off the fat that rises to the surface. Open each bag of corn chips and remove half of the chips. Spoon 1/2 cup of the chili and 1 tablespoon of the cheese into each bag.
Return the remaining chips to each bag and add another 1/2 cup of the chili, another tablespoon of cheese, 1 tablespoon of sour cream, and 1 tablespoon of the jalapenos to each one. Eat right out of the bag.
