Mini Frito Pies

You can eat a Frito pie in 1 bite out of your hand with this easy recipe I came up with. :) They are a pretty classy looking snack or appetizer made from Fritos too! :)

They are a Frito pie / nacho hybrid.

What I used (for these 17 chips):

- Fritos Scoops

- Ground beef (2-3 oz.)

(** You could substitute ground turkey or ground chicken if you want.)

- Old El Paso Taco Seasoning (1-2 teaspoons)

- Tomato Sauce (1 tablespoon or so)

- Sargento Mexican 4-blend shredded cheese

- Daisy sour cream (not shown in the picture above, but I like to add a little bit)

For this recipe, you have to use Fritos Scoops because they are bigger and you can put a filling in there.

I made a quick "chili" recipe. I don't like beans; that's why there aren't any in there. You could use your own chili recipe and then scoop it into the scoops.

1.) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees -- to melt the cheese. (You could also just use broil setting on the oven.)

2.) Brown the ground beef in a pan.

3.) Add some Old El Paso Taco seasoning and a little tomato sauce to the pan and mix them all together.

4.) Spoon a little "chili" beef mixture into the Scoop.

5.) Add a little shredded cheese on top of each Scoop.

6.) Put in the oven for ~5 min. or so -- just to melt the cheese.

7.) Add sour cream or other toppings as desired.

8.) Eat!

That's it! Give it a try! We are good at this!
