Frito Chili Salad image

A hundred years ago when I first moved into my own place, I went grocery shopping for the first time. I found 2 add hamburger meals, they were not hamburger helper but like them, one was in a green box and was taco casserole, and another was in a fuchsia box and was enchilada casserole, no clue what brand but I loved them.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb ground beef
1 small onion diced
1 tsp pureed garlic
8 oz tomato sauce
1/2 c tomato juice
1-2 Tbsp chili powder
1/2-1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp oregano
1 can(s) kidney or black or pinto beans drained and rinsed
8 oz fritos or tortilla chips
shredded lettuce
diced tomato
sliced green onions
sliced radishes
grated cheese
salsa
sour cream

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease 2 quart casserole. brown meat, then add onion and garlic. Drain. Add tomato sauce, tomato juice, seasonings. Stir in beans. Put meat in a casserole dish, then top with grated cheese and top with fritos. Cover and bake for 40 minutes
  • 2. In the meantime make salad out of lettuce, onion, and tomato. Serve frito chili on bed of salad and add grated cheese and serve with salsa and sour cream.
  • 3. Note: Notes: I use 2 tablespoons chili powder and 1 teaspoon cumin cause I like that fullness of the earthy flavors. If you would like to add some heat, then a couple of slices of diced jalapeno will do the trick. The kids do not eat salad so I just serve it to them as a casserole. For the adults I have some salad bowls that fit the bill and I put some sald in each one then top with the frito chili salad. I also love tortilla chips so I use those instead of fritos. I also like pinto beans a whole lot better than kidney beans so I use those instead.

I'm not a big fan of Fritos, but I really enjoyed this salad. The chili and cheese were very flavorful and the Fritos added a nice crunch. I would definitely make this again.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chili. It's also a nice change of pace from the usual salad fare. I like to serve it with a side of cornbread or tortilla chips.
